While Darwin predicted hundreds of thousands of transitional forms leading to the fossils of the Cambrian Explosion—biology’s version of the Big Bang—none actually appear.

By Hank HanegraaffThe year was 1893. The place was Chicago. Buddhists had arrived from the East to attend the inaugural World’s Parliament of Religions. While their contingent was sizable, they were vastly outnumbered by Bible believers from the West. One hundred years later, at the centennial celebration of the original Parliament, Buddhists outnumbered Baptists, and saffron robes were more common than Christian clerical clothing.
