You seem to forget that some of the most vociferous opponents of Darwin were his fellow evolutionists. And while most evolutionists don’t dare to criticize Darwin now, a minority of them still do (much to the chagrin of the Church of Darwin):
“I think we are here facing two alternative theories, mutually exclusive. It is, of course, possible to accept both the micromutation and macromutation theory, i.e., the comprehensive theory, but only the intellectually confused or dishonest can unite this standpoint with the claim of being a neo-Darwinian.”
*Soren Lovtrop, “Semantics, Logic and Vulgate Neo-Darwinianism, “ in Evolutionary Theory, July, 1979, p. 162.
Somehow from that quote you infer that Lovtrop thinks Darwin is “ignorance personified?” Only a creationist ...
