Who created men God or Darwin ?

K.Rajib G. @krajibg (11922) • Guwahati, India 3 Mar 09

jannike Ok, I believe that you are studying for knowledge, but realistically, isn't to better yourself? Isn't it so that you can feel you understand the world better, so that you feel you have more control? I think the old line "make the world a better place" is a...
