Criticizing Charles Darwin does not make one a creationist, despite the allegations of many Darwinists, whose arguments often are reduced to petty ad hominem attacks

Never heard that here!

Criticize all you want, but make sure you can support your criticisms with something other than a cartoon understanding of evolution. Otherwise, do not be surprised when someone with a lot more knowledge on the subject hands you your tail end.

As I've often pointed out, if the folks criticizing evolution knew one-tenth about the subject they think they know, they wouldn't be criticizing it.

Does that mean you are a non-creationist? You deny that the world exists? Or do you deny that it was ever created?

Is it just all imagination? Or does it just "be what it is" -- that curiousity stopping zen koan?

Personally, I'd reckon anyone who is NOT at some level a creationist is insane, either by chemistry or choice. Why? Because things started somewhere and somehow.

Moreover -- and this is to many (but not to me) a seperate point, but the very very physics and chemisty that we have come to learn by scientific study is to an unimaginably high degree unlikely to have arisen from some random process -- and just as or more impossibly likely to be able to continue in some stable state of being for any time. Therefore not only is there a Creator, but a Maintainer. One and the same, for the two activites are too close, too cohesive to be otherwise.

And that's just plain sense -- to deny is the insanity.
