Science does not depend on who believes what. Your whole argument is silly 'reasoning'. It does not matter whether Marx believed in evolution or creationism, in an OT god or a NT god, or a Hindu god, or no god. The business of science is sorting out what are valid explanations of natural phenomena, and this is independent of specific individuals. If Darwin had not developed the idea of evolution, someone else surely would have, since the observable world points to it.

As far as what Hitler, Marx or Stalin may have thought--if they thought--it makes no iota of difference. This is a kind of argument from authority in reverse. Science does not depend on authority figures to be valid. Nor is it smeared by bad people who accept it.

For example, it is likely that Hitler and Stalin believed in motherhood and gravity, too--would you then say that motherhood and gravity are, therefore, suspect and invalid?

Sorry, I should have made it clear that this was addressed to elinil, and to you as FYI. I know you are familiar with bad arguments.

And this opportunity to say your posts have been great.

The whole EVO crowd believe in a flawed ideology that has no scientific credentials...and all those who have subscribed to it over the years are flawed.

no adequate explanation for the origin of life from dead chemicals

no transitional forms

frauds

The simplest cells are not more primitive than, or ancestral of, larger ones.

Big problem for evos ---that is why they struggle so hard...and in vain.
