Sure, it would seem that the only thing these two scientists have in common is that both introduced revolutionary ideas in their respective fields. Darwin put forth the Theory of Evolution while Einstein gave us the Theory of Relativity. But recently, both scientists have been featured in the news for different reasons.

Einstein was a hot topic a few days back after it was revealed that he’d had 6 lovers while he was married. A series of letters exposed this little secret that had been hidden so far. On the other hand, Darwin is in the news for all the good reasons. The famous finches he studied, are helping confirm his ideas by showing evolution. Yes, you got that right intelligent design advocates! The FINCHES ARE EVOLVING!!!

The evolutionary change has been the reduction in beak size to take advantage of smaller seeds. This just 20 years after the arrival of a larger rival for its food source. I wonder what ID advocates will have to say now. Maybe they’ll finally say that they’ve been trying to preach religion all this time. Or maybe they’ll say, God - oops sorry, the “intelligent designer” - gave the finches smaller beaks since He or She loves them so much. Or that the designer put a little device in them that told them to change their beaks after 20 years.

I’m eagerly waiting for the response that ID supporters will have to offer once they read this news. And who said physicists don’t get to have fun?
