Who decided Darwinist evolution was true, on what evidence?

As far as I know, nobody can authoritatively say it's true. That's why it's called a "theory". I doubt that your so uninformed as to be unaware of the evidence.

Is there nothing about Darwinism that was and is wrong?

Define "Darwinism". I'm familiar with the theory of evolution. "Darwinism" seems a slippery term that defies formal definition, other than being a general perjorative.

Good answer, it clarifies a bit where you are coming from. Perhaps you ought to appear to be as skeptical of those who support the theory as those who try to come from a Biblical perspective.

The reason "Darwinism" has become a pejorative, is that many of the adherents of that viewpoint deserve it. They spin a theory as truth, ignore its problems, and muddy (and have seriously muddied) the scientific world with a sociopolitical nuance that simply never belonged.
