The fact is that Darwin was a prodigious observer and collector of data, he did numerous experiments, a great systematizer, and his insights provided powerful explanations as to how and why the observed natural world is as it is, and revolutionized the scientific understanding of the biological world. The basics of his theory, inheritance, with modification, and natural selection, leading to new species adapted to their environment, has been continuously confirmed since the theory was first published in 1858.
Darwin's publications are interesting and readable, Creationists who want to slime him should have the intellectual honesty to read his works, at least Origin of Species.
You might have a point sparky, if Max Planck were around in Newtons' time. Then again, if he was, the point wouldn't be in your favor.
Why don't you use the full title of his book:
ON THE ORIGIN OF SPECIES BY MEANS OF NATURAL SELECTION,
OR THE
PRESERVATION OF FAVOURED RACES IN THE STRUGGLE FOR LIFE.
You forget that Darwin himself was a racist and that his book has been used by many to justify racism against blacks and other groups because they were 'less evolved' than others.
