In my experience, "Darwinian" or "Darwinist" as a term, exists only in the vocabulary of anti-evolution Creationists.

Bilge for your mill.

It's the old "argument from consequences." It doesn't matter whether or not evolution is true, it must be suppressed "for the good of the children."

This whole article stinks, reminds me of the "Who Wrote This, Ted Kazinsky(sp?) Or Al Gore" article, pompous straw man BS.

That is not true. All recent proponents of evolutionary theory (Dawkins, Gould, et al) call themselves neo-Darwinists becuase they all profess fealty to the mechanism of natural selction as the prinicipal evolutionary mechanism.

All of their theories (saltationism, selfish gene) suffer from the same defects as outlined in the article. Dawkin's theory, stripped of its its scientific pretensions, becomes even more fantastic as it is a form of vitalism similar to Bergson's "elan vital".

That experience must be limited, since it can be found in a dictionary.

Whatever. It seems to me that it says a lot about evolutionists if they are so quick to dismiss and bury the founder of their theory. But hey, who am I to say, after all, I am not an evolutionist.

FWIW, the author of this piece (David Stove) is an atheist. Dunno if that affects your perception of this article or not!

That has also been my experience. "Darwinism" is a pejorative created by Creationists to bash anyone who does not believe in their version of reality.

Who pays these guys to spread their propaganda?
