Darwin Day is an international celebration of human achievement and scientific inquiry. Held on or around Charles Darwin’s birthday,February 12, people gather to pay tribute to him, to learn more about evolution, and to marvel at the natural world he so vividly described and explained.
At a time when anti-science groups are elevating their attacks on Darwin and the Theory of Evolution, it is important that we recognize his significant contributions to our understanding of the human species and the nature of life.
We stand up with scientists and science teachers around the world to celebrate the relevance and integrity of Darwin’s Great Idea: “…from so simple a beginning endless forms most beautiful and most wonderful have been, and are being, evolved.”
This year Florida State’s Secular Student Alliance will be hosting a Darwin Day celebration on Wednesday, February 11th!
