Darwinist might take note, and be a bit more grateful to those of US that fund their careers.

Are you suggesting that evolutionary biologists should change the outcome of their research so that it's more pleasing to the masses? Trofim Lysenko would be proud.

By the way, I've never met a practicing "Darwinist". Do you know any?

"Darwinist" is a word coined to have negative connotations. A Darwinist is presumably a supporter or practitioner of a doctrine called "Darwinism" (which is a companion word coined for the same purpose). It's a subtle thing, and I imagine it works only in English. It's similar to words like: Chauvanist, Leninist, Maoist, Marxist, Mesmerist, Onanist, Papist, and Satanist.
