...support for designation of February 12, 2011, as Darwin Day

[Swede]

RESOLUTION

Expressing support for designation of February 12, 2011, as Darwin Day and recognizing the importance of science in the betterment of humanity.

Whereas Charles Darwin’s theory of evolution by the mechanism of natural selection, together with the monumental amount of scientific evidence he compiled to support it, provides humanity with a logical and intellectually compelling explanation for the diversity of life on Earth;

Whereas the validity of Darwin’s theory of evolution by natural selection is further strongly supported by the modern understanding of the science of genetics;

1. Will there be Darwin Awards given in honor of the day?

Posthumously of course.

2. We have lots of darwin awards in Texas.

Usually caused by a pit bull or a rottie making a tender vittle out of a child.

Most unusual one we had recently was an old guy who kept a European Red Elk. He went in the animal's pen and it saw him as a competitor for mating, and stomped him to death.
The game warden was on TV saying, "We told him multiple times to not keep an exotic animal."
