"Is there something that troubles you about Darwin? Or his idea of natural selection? (It was his idea, wasn't it?)"

Darwin is to evolution as the Write brothers were to flight. Darwin was the first to discover and integrate principles to create a reasonable evolutionary model.

If I had a problem with opponents of flight trying to rename aeronautics “Writeism” so that they could imply that it was just as subjectively faith based as their alternative, it wouldn’t be because Write “troubles” me.

Those kind of tactics are evidence that ID belongs in social studies, not science.

It's the W-r-i-g-h-t brothers, and BTW they didn't invent aeronautics. They were the first to achieve powered flight. But no one is ashamed to be associated with them. For quite some time "Curtis Wright" was one of the largest corporations in America.

You didn't answer my question about natural selection. Do you think it has anything, or everthing, to do with the variety of species we observe, or does it not?
