result of organic evolution, the process initiated by God
In those affidavits, two scientists, a philosopher, a theologian, and an educator, all of whom claim extensive knowledge of creation science, swear that it is essentially a collection of scientific data supporting the theory that the physical universe and life within it appeared suddenly, and have not changed substantially since appearing.

Darwinian Roots of Judicial Activism
Genesis and the Declaration of Independence
From nearly a Century agoThe Fundamentals A Testimony to the Truth
These experts insist that creation science is a strictly scientific concept that can be presented without religious reference.
I have not actually seen this done, but I'll do a search on the authors referenced and see what turns up.
From the 2nd link,
Darwin offered modern man the same question which the serpent posed to Eve: "Hath God said?" thereby declaring man the ultimate source of authority.
Strawman. Darwin offered a way to organize the diversity of life in God's creation for purposes of study. God did grant us dominion.
By convincing large numbers of Christians that law is morally neutral, that human reason is the arbiter of truth, and that standards change as cultures mature, Darwinism has neutralized the restraining influence of Biblical Christianity on culture.
Darwin didn't do this. The fragmenting of Christian Churches into opposing camps did this. This started centuries before Darwin was born. In the US, Church-going Christians make up 73% of the population, but can't get a Bible class in publik skool because no one wants the other Christian Churches to set the curriculum. And don't get me started about the abomination the Episcopalians are perpetrating.
From your 4th link,
Pearcey sees a direct connection between Darwinism and the postmodern view that "the only objective and absolute truth is that there are no objective and absolute truths."
It's certainly true, as some of your links show, that Darwin was afraid that his work would not be well received in the faith community and that he turned agnostic, but nowhere did he promote moral relativism. Einstein's theory has been blamed for that as well.
The real situation is that the Christian community has abandoned it's leadership role in the world for reasons I don't understand. Maybe George W. Bush is the first in a new line of Christian presidents to bring us back from the brink? ;)
I'll be back.
