Great post, thanks for the info.
You know, I never imagined that I would get such opposition about what "Darwinism" is. Modern-day Darwinism is a theory used in the Unitarian church and by atheists to provide reasons for God not existing--I didn't even think this would be up to debate among FR members--but I guess I was wrong. Some members of this board apparently thought I was talking about "Darwinian Theory" and I was not. I have no big problem with Charles Darwin other than that I disagree with macro-evolution. I was not saying that Charles Darwin was some evil person trying to take God out of our schools! I said that liberals are using "Darwinism" as a means to eliminate God.
It is the same as when people say that the Islam-o-fascists have taken "Islam" and are using it to teach terrorism. My agrument is not with Islam, it is with how it is currently beging taught. The same holds true with modern-day Darwinism. I can't believe that this concept is so hard to grasp.
Darwinism n. A theory of biological evolution developed by Charles Darwin and others. It states that species of plants and animals develop through natural selection of variations that increase the organism's ability to survive and reporduce
