Before Darwin there was phiosophical speculation on the origins of life. After Darwin there was phiosophical speculation on the origins of life.. The difference is that after Darwin it has become settled science that new species evolve from existing ones. Darwin didn’t address the origins of life. He described a mechanism to explain the origin of new species.
This whole article is based on multiple false premises.

Absolutely. The only thing of value in it that I saw (besides the words of our founders which are always inspiring) was this...
“We shall show by the testimony of men learned in science and theology that there are millions of people who believe in evolution and in the stories of creation as set forth in the Bible and who find no conflict between the two.”
Even more true now than in 1925.

Is that you, Al Gore?

Ah... “settled science”
Just like Algore - a phrase intended to SHUT UP ANYONE WHO HAS A DISSENTING POINT OF VIEW.
Very, very typical of anyone attempting to destroy the foundations of our society.

This, too is a false premises. It is not "settled science". All Darwin did was provide a suggested mechanism to explain the origin of new species, just as you said. To say that something might have happened and "settle" the science are two completely different things.
