Well, what he means is the whole concept of "Darwinist" and Darwin as the leader of some sort of religion or cult, and "The Origin of Species" as some sort of Bible, is a fictional strawman created by the Creationists.

Really Darwin and "The Origin of Species" while certainly respected, isn't that big of a deal; most evolutionists are too busy out in the field doing practical work digging up fossils or studying flora and fauna; they aren't sitting around re-reading Origin of Species for the 100th time.

I think evolution is something of a cult. It requires a leap of faith to accept it. No one can drag the theory into the lab and submit it to the scientific method to prove it's validity. This isn't so much a criticism, as a statement of fact. But the "Darwinists" take it as a criticism. It's plain that Darwin's theory of the rise of species has been used by many for over a hundred years to attack belief in the Bible. When used for this purpose, evolution ceases to be an explanation of origins, and becomes a soapbox in a war of religious viewpoints.

My opinion about evolution is that it is the best explanation that man has been able to come up with to explain the origin of species, without God.
