    They used to cite Charle’s Darwin quotes about lacking evidence religiously, quite ironically.

    I still have the passage bookmarked in my copy of Origin of Species. The local JWs used to cite it a lot when I mentioned evolution, but they’ve stopped, unfortunately.

    Maybe the finally read the rest of the paragraph? Who knows.

      I have a Darwin quote for them:

      I cannot persuade myself that a beneficent and omnipotent God would have designedly created the Ichneumonidae [a family of parasitoid wasps] with the express intention of their feeding within the living bodies of caterpillars.
