Darwin, even if his origional theory was not able to account for all of the facts, did an outstanding job of explaining about 90% of what we observe today. Not a bad record!

Darwin has a horrible record. Let's see, the brachyocephalic index, the melding theory were pretty central to his theory. More importantly though he based his theory on Malthusianism which has been totally disproven. Even worse was his 'brilliant idea' which followed the ridiculous Malthusian theory - natural selection. Now natural selection may be true to a certain extent. However, natural selection only destroys organism, species, and genetic traits, it never creates them. So as an explanation of the descent of man from bacteria it is totally ludicrous. Only a charlatan like him could have pulled such an idiocy as 4-2 = 6 and gotten away with it for so long.

Perhaps you are absolutly correct and my theory of migic is a better answer. Hey, if I work very hard, I am sure that the public high school will allow me to teach a class on magic next year.

You Sir, have been my best advocate!
