The recent irruption of atheism can be traced to the Darwinian creed, for the well publicized testimonials of Richard Dawkins, Sam Harris and Christopher Hitchens all have recourse to Darwinism at various points.

This writer is obviously qualified to set educational standards. I look forward to his recommendations for the spelling curriculum.

“Irruption” is a perfectly lovely word, meaning something that rushes in forcefully or violently....

Actually, I looked it up. Irruption is, in fact, a word.

irruption (n): 1. a breaking or rushing in. 2. A violent incursion.

His understanding of Darwin is a tad superficial (not surprisingly), but he did use a cool word that I had to look up.
