David Attenborough receives creationist hate mail


During an interview regarding his latest documentary on Charles Darwin, David Attenborough revealed that he has been receiving hate mail from creationists, who tell him to "burn in Hell and good riddance."

The reason for their anger is apparently because he doesn't give "credit" to God.
"They always mean beautiful things like hummingbirds. I always reply by saying that I think of a little child in east Africa with a worm burrowing through his eyeball. The worm cannot live in any other way, except by burrowing through eyeballs. I find that hard to reconcile with the notion of a divine and benevolent creator."

  1. Interesting, particularly, how un-Christian some "Christian" creationists prove themselves to be and how little understanding they have of what Christ taught--divine or not.
