Great Britain

And yet on all the obverse of British Commonwealth coins there's a picture of the Sovereign with the inscription "D.G. Rex" (if a king) or "D.G. Regina" (if a queen). The "D" stands for "Dei" or God. (In other words, King or Queen by the Grace of God). Most Americans may trust a god, but don't believe that one should determine a hereditary head of state. Who's greater now?

Oh God. So much ignorance. So much stupidity in this comments section. "The promotion of Darwin as a radical atheist seeking to refute the Bible is idiotic". It doesn't say that ANYWHERE in this picture, or this caption. Americans still can't accept evolution over creationism, but Britons can, that's the point. Don't believe me? Look up the statistics. Britain largely accepts science over religion. The USA largely does not. The UK national anthem has been "God save the queen" for a very, very, very long time. Not changing the national anthem doesn't automatically make you a Christian nation. Putting "In God we trust" on your notes (which was quite a recent addition to the note in fact) means that Christianity is a very large part of your politics. When it comes to science and religion, the USA is behind the UK. Sorry, but that's just the way it is, creationism barely exists here. "God save the Queen" is just a relic of an older century when the vast majority of Britons were Christian by default.

Another thing to note is that £10 is worth more than $10. Just saying.

funny....charles was christian

God saves the Queen.....even worse

And the voyage of the Beagle(ya know the ship that lead him research evolution due to his finding on the voyage) was funded by?

Yeah, that is ironic.

If you flip that $10 bill over, you will see that it has a picture of Alexander Hamilton with his name, in a style very similar to the Charles Darwin picture. Meaning that the British pound isn't replacing the words "in God we trust" with Charles Darwin, it's simply a separate part of the bill. Comparison fail.

Haha sorry but the English do still use pounds, poorly educated.

because the words charles darwin look a lot like great britain. greater......

Sam, Darwin began as a Christian but throughout his life grew increasingly skeptical. By the time of his death he no longer attended church, instead choosing to walk around the block whilst his wife and kids were at church. He wasn't god hating, but it's exceptionally misleading to call him "Christian".

And it's somewhat difficult to take memes like this in jest when Great Britain's national anthem is "God Save the Queen." The irony is simply overwhelming.

Would be funny, except Darwin was a Christian and his research never questioned the existence of a supreme being. The promotion of Darwin as a radical atheist seeking to refute the Bible is just as idiotic as people trying to use the Bible to explain Darwinism.
