After witnessing the miracle of limestone pigmentation with my own eyes, my confidence in empirical reasoning will no longer be tested.
Freibberg added: "Look at the power and glory of scientific methods!
As witnesses first reported unexplained marks
Looks like the 19 th-
A century man with a high forehead and a big beard-
This usually quiet town has become a hotbed of biological fever.
Thousands of pilgrims from the distance of Berkeley's Department of Ancient Anthropology flocked to offer flower wreaths, light pious candles, read Darwin's works aloud, and pay tribute to the mysterious blue-green stain.

The so-called "Darwin stain" has been produced in evolutionary faithfulness, and there are still differences about its origin.
Some believe that this image is actually closer to the image of Stephen Jay Gould, the longtime columnist of natural history, the originator of the theory of intermittent balance, and thus proves rapid
A smaller minority sees this as Carl Sagan's face and should be seen as a warning to non-believers who have not yet seen his popular PBS series, The Universe: Personal Voyage.

"For those of you who deny that genetic drift is a branching evolutionary tree that adds biodiversity to the changing ecosystem, we say, 'Look at Darwin's face!
Jeanette Cosgrove said she and members of her microbiology class have been on-site vigil for the last 72 hours.
"For millions of generations, a particular variant of the stick fungus has adapted to this particular concrete wall in order to form this stain one day," so let Darwin's glorious face show this sight, "said Cosgrove excitedly.
"This is a miracle," she added . "
