What observable, repeatable evidence did Darwin have for no taxonomic boundaries? What observable, repeatable evidence did Darwin have all life derives from a single common ancestor? Sorry, Darwin was practicing Evo-religion, not science.
PS I have nothing against religion. But I do object to the Temple of Darwinistic Materialism hiding the religious motivations behind their unscientific historical interpretations.
"PS I have nothing against religion. But I do object to the Temple of Darwinistic Materialism hiding the religious motivations behind their unscientific historical interpretations."
Darwin asserted nothing about taxonomic boundaries. You did, and I did.
Common ancestry is a derived concept formulated from the observance of shared DNA, a discovery that Darwin's observations predated. He was only describing how nature tends to shape animals and adjust them to better fit their ecological niches, just as flowing water softens its own bed.
If you have nothing against religion, you should refrain from attempting to insult opinions you find disfavorable by calling them religions.
"... object to the Temple of Darwinistic Materialism hiding the religious motivations ..." -- Now you're inventing mythological nonsense.
By the way, your phrase, "materialistic religion" sounds like some "focus-tested" wording designed to get people's nerves on edge.
You say you have nothing against religion. Should we conclude that you do have something against materialism?
