Quite the opposite. I’m very familiar with both works. It’s the ‘head in the sand’ attitude you’ve taken that makes this discussion so cathartic. Your don’t “need to know what Darwin wrote” statement is very telling about the level of discussion that you’re capable of. If you were going to write a book critique about Tom Sawyer would you also expect full credit for saying that since Samuel Clements used a pen name (a sure sign of a fraud) you can just guess at what’s in the book and not have to read it.
You’re suffering from willful ignorance. The only cure for which is to read what you are in opposition to so you can “intelligently design” your response.
While you may have a point on the surface, I am also opposed to socialism/communism. I have not read the works of Marx nor Mao, nor do I really intend to, I know, based on world experience their teachings are false and destructive.
It is not willful ignorance on my part to decline to read that which is false. I willfully choose to believe what is written in the Bible.
There is an ever increasing load of material that is beginning to refute the THEORY of Evolution. If you choose to continue to subscribe to the idea that life today is the result of millions, or billions of years of evolution, that is your call. You do yourself no favors.
I for one choose the bible as my truth. And Genesis, being the first book, the beginning of all, is under attack by those that would discredit the whole. As is the same within Conservatism, incremental compromise yields only disastrous results.
There is no compromise for this. Genesis is actually very specific. And is true.
