The 'Origin of the Species' was published in 1859, the full name of it (never used anymore since it shows what kind of guy Darwin was) is "On the Origin of Species by Means of Natural Selection, or the Preservation of Favoured Races in the Struggle for Life".
Ah. I mis-remembered the date. Name someone using "natural selection" before 1859. And in particular, name a creationist researcher using the concept before it became so abundantly proved that creationists could no longer ignore it.

Oh, you mean the "racist" libel? Look up the term "race" as it was used in the middle of the 19th century. (And my copy of Webster's Ninth shows that the word was not used to refer to biological entities until 1899. I wonder what word was used before then? Could it have been ..... "race"?)
