Primoa1970, that is a fantastic response! I don't think it can be worded any better.
For me, I would not like to be the first martyr, nor the last, nor anywhere in the middle.

First?
That would have been a simplistic proto-lifeform about 3.65 billion years ago.
Since then, every life that died on this planet has been a martyr for evolution.... we're talking seriously large numbers here.

I don't mind manning the barricades, but the plan is always to live through it.
Look up Thomas Aikenhead. He was a Martyr for reason.

Wouldn't there need to be a cause to be martyred for?

That honor will have to go to some Creationist who forgoes medical treatment that was developed as the result of mans understanding of evolution.

We've had enough martyrs, throughout history.
Here's a quote I like:
"We would be 1,500 years ahead if it hadn't been for the church dragging science back by its coattails and burning our best minds at the stake."
