Via WIRED: Today is Darwin Day — a kind of Christmas for the science-minded. Instead of observing a religious holiday, today is a celebration of Charles Darwin’s birthday and mankind’s crowning achievement — science.

Now in its fourth year, Darwin Day is the brainchild of a group of British and American scientists.

“Our long-term goal is to establish a new international tradition … an annual secular celebration of Darwin, science and humanity,” said Robert Stephens, one of the event’s organizers, to MSNBC. LINK
