Abstract
In a clip from YouTube Richard Dawkins says ‘Who cares about creationists? They don’t know anything’. Like Dawkins, I agree that creationism has nothing to offer as an explanation for the origins and diversity of life on this planet. Although I am not a professional biologist everything I have read and heard, including Darwin’s On the origin of species, has so far convinced me that evolution is a fact, and that while there are different explanations to account for evolution none have to date undermined it.
