Oh, and by the way; science has progressed for some 150 years since Darwin. Few discoveries, here and there; maybe 98% of the fossil record, DNA, a little geology here and there, maybe a stray find or two in biology, etc. . . . . And you know, old Darwin was right all along. Pretty smart guy, eh?

Smart, yes; and he may very well have been "right all along." But I was not aware that Darwin predicted DNA. Did Crick and Watson credit Darwin in their work on DNA?

Reread my post. I mentioned that "science has progressed for some 150 years since Darwin" and gave some examples. DNA was one of them.

So, let me restate:

And you know, old Darwin's theory was right all along. Pretty smart guy, eh?

Better?

Neither did they give proper credit to Rosalind Franklin after stealing her early work on DNA . . .
