developed the theory of evolution by the
 mechanism of natural selection1 which1

scientific evidence ,charles ,darwin    
compiled to support the theory1 provides
 humanity with a logical and            
intellectually compelling explanation   
for the diversity of life on ,earth2    
,whereas the validity of the theory of  
evolution by natural selection developed
 by ,charles ,darwin is further strongly
 supported by the modern understanding  

of the science of genetics2 ,whereas it 
has been the human curiosity and        
ingenuity exemplified by ,charles       
,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
 education systems of the ,united       
,states2 ,whereas ,charles ,darwin is a 
worthy symbol of scientific advancement 
on which to focus and around which to   
build a global celebration of science

common bond among all the people of the 
,earth2 and ,whereas ,february #ab1     
#bjai1 is the anniversary of the birth
