It's classic case of Creationists projecting themselves on to evolutionists - I really think they literally believe people sit around reading "Origin of Species" in darkened rooms or something.
Actually a heck of a lot of evolutionists haven't read Origin of Species (as a lot of physicists haven't actually sat down and read Newton's "Principia Mathematica") and Darwin is not a religious figure.
"Darwin is not a religious figure"
I would venture to say he certainly is to some - many on these threads.
Correct. I read Origin quite a few years ago, and am now reading "Voyage of The Beagle".
Most people who accuse Darwin of evolutionary misdeeds don't even realize he died about 80 years before Watson and Crick did their work.
And Darwin was certainly not alone in his naturalist philosophies, Lamarck had done alot of work along very similar veins.
A lot of judges and law professors haven't read the constitution, either.
A lot of evolutionists have not read "Origin of Species," because it has no more than historical value.
