Darwinists must be an endangered species. How else to explain their 80-year need for court protection to ensure their survival?

This is akin to the kid who kills his parents and then pleads for mercy on the grounds that he is an orphan. Evolution is deemed to lean on "court protection" because it has stood up to a torrent of litigation and legislation in an effort to make it go away.

Among scientists, "Darwinism" is no more controversial than Euclidism or Copernicism or Pasteurism. The controversy is not a scientific controversy; it's a political controversy over whether or not science should be taught.
