Pictured below is a real scientist: Erwin Schrodinger (1887 - 1961)

Schrodinger’s book, What is Life inspired the elucidation of the DNA structure which won Watson and Crick the Nobel Prize.

From Wiki:

In 1944, he wrote What is Life?, which contains a discussion of Negentropy and the concept of a complex molecule with the genetic code for living organisms. According to James D. Watson’s memoir, DNA, The Secret of Life, Schrödinger’s book gave Watson the inspiration to research the gene, which led to the discovery of the DNA double helix structure. Similarly, Francis Crick, in his autobiographical book What Mad Pursuit, described how he was influenced by Schrödinger’s speculations about how genetic information might be stored in molecules.

But Schrodinger’s greatest contribution was in the development of quantum mechanics. His famous Schrodinger Equation has various incarnations. For example, for the one-particle case, the equation is:

Schrodinger’s insights led to huge breakthroughs in physics, engineering, and biology. That’s because Schrodinger was real scientist, unlike Charles Darwin.

In contrast to Schrodinger, here is what Darwin had to say.

I attempted mathematics [at Cambridge University ], and even went during the summer of 1828 with a private tutor (a very dull man) to Barmouth, but I got on very slowly. The work was repugnant to me, chiefly from my not being able to see any meaning in the early steps of algebra. This impatience was foolish, and in after years I have deeply regretted that I did not proceed far enough at least to understand something of the great leading principles of mathematics; for men thus endowed seem to have an extra sense. But I do not believe that I should ever have succeeded beyond a very low grade.

Autobiography (p. 58 of the 1958 Norton edition)

Ironically the Darwinists are whining that the US is falling behind in math and engineering education and that if we don’t teach more Darwinism, the country will fail. Acually, it is apparent from Darwin’s own writings we should not follow in Darwin’s footsteps if we wish the USA to excell in math and engineering.

Heck, Darwin couldn’t even comprehend basic algebra. Even Duane Gish can comprehend basic algebra. Even I can comprehend basic algebra. I’m even acquainted with a few flavors of algebra in addition to basic algebra:

Matrix Algebra,
Linear Algebra,
Abstract Algebra….

Erwin Schrodinger’s work is a better example of science than the falsified speculations of Charles Darwin. The nation will advance in science and engineering if more students understand the Schrodinger’s work than that of the math-challenged puppy beater, Charles Darwin…..
