Like Newton, I figure it was the followers of Darwin responsible for this bad rap.
A great scientist who actually understood the difference between theory, fact, and faith.
Excellent article, but unless you can do it five times a day, every day, quality be damned, you’ll never match the Professor of Ignorance.

Good article.
As a theist, I am perfectly comfortable with the Theory of Evolution. I am not much of a science person—I won’t pretend to be an expert on evolution, or that the theory as it stands is infallible, but I find the slow, intricate, never-ending development of species a much more impressive statement about the scope of God’s power, the vastness of His plans, and His constant involvement in Creation than some split-second hocus-pocus. The Creator is ever creating.
“The Myth that Darwin believed in spontaneous generation or that life emerged from nothing. Darwin never addressed initial creation or suggested any answers to the origin of life.”
Really?

Charles Darwin Really Did Have Advanced Ideas About The Origin Of Life
ScienceDaily (Oct. 27, 2009)
A comment in a notebook dating back to 1837, in which Darwin explains that “the intimate relationship between the vital phenomena with chemistry and its laws makes the idea of spontaneous generation conceivable,” gave the researchers their clue...........
In another famous letter sent in 1871 to his friend, the English botanist and explorer Joseph D. Hooker, Charles Darwin imagines a small, warm pool where the inanimate matter would arrange itself into evolutionary matter, aided by chemical components and sufficient sources of energy.”
Darwin was little more than a second rate “scientist”, not a god, not a devil.
Darwin was useless, as were his poorly developed, full-of-holes theories, and all of the unfounded conjectures that grew out of them and into the modern scourge of godless humanism.
The “missing link” will never be found, for excellent reason. None exists.
There is no link between chordates and inchordates, no link between primates and homo sapiens, no explanation for the fact that man posses both a thalamus and a hypothalamus, while none of the primates (nor any other species)do...
No explanation (other than fraud) for Peking man, Java man, and 2 - 3 others which turned out to be nothing but boxes of misidentified or deliberately wrongly-categorized remnants...
No explanation but arrogant men seeking a way to worship themselves instead of acknowledging the sovereign G_d.
What is the first commandment? Thou shalt have no other gods before ME. Even the atheist has a 'god' or 'gods'. And Darwin did not, regardless who trained him, believe in the LORD thy God that brought the children out of the house of bondage. NO as a matter of fact this nation collectively turned their backs on their own Heavenly Father and this past election voted to go back into bondage. And the majority of Americans that voted, voted to install over them one who is in the practice of that higher doctrine, called 'scientific methodology'...
The more things change the more they remain the same. IF evolution were the methodology the Heavenly Father put in motion all those eons ago there sure ought to be mass utopia around this globe.
I’ve never read that Darwin was taught by Catholics in university do you have a link or reference for that? He was certainly a fundamentalist protestant when he boarded the Beagle but one who might also have been influenced by Catholicism through Erasmus Darwin.
I don’t believe the loss of his daughter had anything to do with his loss of faith either. That seemed to have happened early on around the time of his marriage and is referred to in a letter to his wife.
