“Ironically, Darwin’s evolutionary theory is based is atheistic naturalism, a religious belief.”

My impression of the evolutionist approach is that it includes a fervent desire to ignore, and if ignorance doesn’t work, to suppress and ridicule, any and all inquiry into an examination of the circumstances described by the comment quoted above.

Darwinism is a religion, but this fact cannot be adequately discussed because Darwinists know it would hurt their credibility.

Darwinism is a religion

If that were so, why has the theory of evolution changed (dare I say evolved) over the years as more fossil evidence has been gathered? Darwin provided examples of slow continuous evolution and that was mainstream evolutionary theory for years. However, the twentieth century theory of punctuated equilibrium better explains much, but not all, of later fossil finds.

Theory of Punctuated Equilibrium
