".....unabashed bigotry of staunch Darwinists....." Placemarker.
See my ***Tagine***
The original article in the Telegraph described specific statements made by Darwinist against the author that indicated a bigoted point of view (as does your tagline). The Darwinists did not attempt to debate any issues, only to malign the author for not accepting their dogmatic assertions about evolution. They can claim the issue is “settled”, but the poll indicates that it is obviously not the case.
The lack of scientifically verifiable and repeatable experiments that conclusively demonstrate the claims of evolution (mutation + selection = advancement) is the reason this issue is not settled.
A famous Darwinist (Dawkins?) was quoted as saying the evolution was as certain as the earth being round (implying that those who disagree are on par with those still believing the Earth is flat). This so wildly over states the evidence favoring evolution that it is laughable.
