,mr4 ,holt submitted the following      
resolution2 which was referred to the   
,committee on ,science1 ,space1 and     
,technology  ,,resolution  ,expressing  
support for designation of ,february    
#ab1 #bjac1 as ,darwin ,day and         
recognizing the importance of science in
 the betterment of humanity4  ,whereas  
,charles ,darwin's theory of evolution  
by the mechanism of natural selection1  
together with the monumental amount of  
scientific evidence he compiled to      
support it1 provides humanity with a    
logical and intellectually compelling   
explanation for the diversity of life on
 ,earth2 ,whereas the validity of       
,darwin's theory of evolution by natural
 selection is further strongly supported
 by the modern understanding of the     
science of genetics2 ,whereas it has    
been the human curiosity and ingenuity  
exemplified by ,darwin that has promoted

 new scientific discoveries that have   
helped humanity solve many problems and 
improve living conditions2 ,whereas the 
advancement of science must be protected
 from those unconcerned with the adverse
 impacts of global warming and climate  
change2 ,whereas the teaching of        
creationism in some public schools      
compromises the scientific and academic 
integrity of the ,united ,states        
education systems2 ,whereas ,charles    
,darwin is a worthy symbol of scientific
 advancement on which to focus and      
around which to build a global          
celebration of science and humanity     
intended to promote a common bond among 
all of ,earth's peoples2 and ,whereas   
,february #ab1 #bjac1 is the anniversary
 of the birth of ,charles ,darwin in    
#ahji and would be an appropriate date  
to designate as ,darwin ,day3 ,now1     
therefore1 be it  ,that the ,house of   
,representatives--  7#a7 supports the   
designation of ,darwin ,day2 and  7#b7  
recognizes ,charles ,darwin as a worthy 

symbol on which to celebrate the        
achievements of reason1 science1 and the
 advancement of human knowledge4
