If Darwin were alive today he probably wouldn't give a hoot about
restoration of pagan sites. He probably would have just seen Armageddon or
Godzilla and hurried home to write another op-ed piece for the Times, as he
has for the last 60 years, reminding us that his theory of evolution was
descriptive not qualitative, or, to put it another way, that the
blue-footed booby made a hell of a lot more sense to him than did Homo
Sapiens.
