A national group of atheists and agnostics erected a billboard celebrating the bicentennial of Charles Darwin’s birth just outside Grand Junction this week, the Freedom From Religion Foundation announced Tuesday. The town landed the “Praise Darwin: Evolve Beyond Belief” billboard — which also commemorates the 150th anniversary of the publication of Darwin’s On the Origin of Species — because Grand Junction rejected a proposal by a local atheist to proclaim a day honoring the father of evolution, FFRF said in a release.
