Oh please. That's not "the evolutionary answer"--that's one crank's century-old fever dream. "Bölsche, Wilhelm...had no scientific training but an enthusiasm for Darwinism, positivism, and determinism, which he conceived as the basis for a new harmonious, non-religious, scientific world....Bölsche had not the mental equipment for a profound work on this subject..."
So Bölsche is not qualified to speak on Evolution because he had no scientific training?
If he had graduated from seminary, would that have qualified him?
If not having scientific training disqualifies one from speaking on Evolution, it seems to me that Rev. Charles Darwin was completely unqualified to write so many books on the subject.

Except that Darwin was in constant communication with the best academic minds of his time, including those that opposed his theory. He had their respect and attention for 20 years before he published. He bounced ideas of them and his publications were a collaborative effort. His correspondence is available online.
I can't think of a single creationist or ID supporter who collaborates in a like manner.
