Darwin didn't write about the origin of the universe nor the origin of life on earth. He came up with a theory of evolution based on natural selection, which, by the way, is accepted by the proponents of Intelligent Design, except for a few sticky points they feel natural selection can't explain.

Lumping all this together under the term "Darwinism" is a misnomer. Leads to muddled thinking.

"Darwinism", as generally used on these threads, is a pejorative. Stems from muddled thinking.
