Canceling Darwin does not change anything anymore than cancelling Newton or Einstein or any other scientist. His motives, even if racist, do not disprove the theory of natural selection by descent with modification. The way to “cancel” Darwin is to show that there is an aspect of human life that can’t be accounted for by descent with modification.

The naturalist way is to write a scientific paper on the Origin of Souls. The problem with this approach is that, as Karl Popper has pointed out, it can’t be disproved because it must forever be an article of faith.

All religious people must believe in God only as an act of pure faith that transcends logic or science. Pinning one’s belief on the efforts of any naturalist philosophy is futile and not necessary. It exposes the believer’s temptation to succumb to doubt and weakens their faith.

Credo quia absurdum (I believe because it is absurd).

The existence of God is obvious. It is the people who believe in naturalism who accept an absurd theory as an article of pure faith, based upon wishful thinking and little else..
