If anyone's up to his nostrils and sinking, it's the creationists.
I notice you didn't even attempt to deal with my second set of quotes.
I notice you have declined to deal with the dishonesty of your first set. Darwin's hunch was right. He didn't say whales for sure came from bears, only that some such scenario had likely happened. It had. Rather than deal with that, you attempt to obscure it.
Darwin would be considered a racist today, yes. He was one of the least racist men of his time. It would be irrelevant to the truth or falsehood of his theory, however, if he barbecued babies. So your two arguments together amount to seriously misrepresenting a successful prediction and an irrelevancy.
Let's go back to that first argument you don't like to talk about. Other successful predictions Darwin made include the finding of Precambrian life in general, trilobite precursors in particular, and the existence of a particularly long-tongued Madagascar hawk-moth. If he was a charlatan, he was the luckiest man ever with a really wrong theory. One hundred fifty years later, only a cult of witch doctor idiots knows how wrong he was, and that not from the evidence but only by ignoring the evidence.

The hunter will probably get his bear back. There may be other hybrids out there. More details on what happened.
