His goal was to join his friend, the lawyer, Charles Lyell in coming up with a theory that removed the miracles of Genesis. His goal was philosophically motivated.

It takes a great deal of faith to believe in evolution. It's just that those who do, deny it.

And you clearly get emotional when it comes to defending Darwin against the revelation of the truth about who he was.

(btw, I'll bet you learned your 'history' from leftists, didn't you?)

You cannot dispute the TOE on it's merits so you attack the alleged motivations (and feelings and emotions) of Darwin. You have no rational arguments.

"His goal was to join his friend, the lawyer, Charles Lyell in coming up with a theory that removed the miracles of Genesis."

I think you mean Lyell the Geologist who was apposed to Natural Selection. You really have no idea what you are talking about. Most Geologists had already discounted a literal Genesis before Darwin. You need to come up with appropriate motives for all of them.

"And you clearly get emotional when it comes to defending Darwin against the revelation of the truth about who he was."

You haven't a clue to who he was. You wouldn't want to know either.

"It takes a great deal of faith to believe in evolution. It's just that those who do, deny it."

Not when we have the evidence on our side, and you have nothing. We don't lose any sleep at night; do you?

"(btw, I'll bet you learned your 'history' from leftists, didn't you?)"

No. I'll bet you learned your science from them though. Leftists hate science. Post modernism and creationism are bastard siblings.

It takes a great deal of faith to believe in evolution.

And we may infer from the sneer behind this statement that ideas requiring faith are rubbish.
