He was a failed theologian and a medical school drop out.
Such a "scientific" intellectual hero you have! No wonder you think an evolution thread "belongsinreligion".
Further his geologic interpretations were heavily influenced by his friend and mentor, Charles Lyell, a creationist.
According to Antrhro Palomar.edu an evo-inclined site, Lyell was not a biblical creationist (operative term) at all. I quote: "While George Cuvier and Charles Lyell strongly disagreed about how the earth got to be the way it is today, they both rejected the idea of biological evolution. However, neither man accepted a traditional Biblical account of creation and a young earth. Cuvier did not live long enough to learn about Charles Darwin's proof of evolution, but Lyell did. He came to accept this proof in the early 1860's along with most leading scientists of that time. Lyell also became a friend of Charles Darwin."
Can't even get your facts straight. Such a careless little DU-schlub disruptor you are. Your research skills are bested by most public school third graders.
Everyone's a "creationist" in the general sense. Some of us know how we got here, Who cretaed us, why we got here, and what our purpose for being here is.
On the other hand "creationists" like you can't even seem to tell us how or why you chose to evolve your stupid little selves in the first place.
And on a site devoted to discussions intended to promote conservative principles one wonders why evo-materialists such as yourself whose "science" is at the root of totalitarian philosophy are even here, but for purposes of disruption and keyword mischief. (Yeah, we know it's you, "Natural Loser".)
Global warming suckers seem to start out as evo-suckers, but it looks like your little "peer-reviewed" pantheon -- the gate keepers of lies -- is about to come crumbling down around the both of your science-less philosophies.
Such a "scientific" intellectual hero you have!"
Darwin is not a hero, but he is a very sympathetic character. For the sin of publishing his pbserevations and attempting to explain them he was attacked and ridiculed endless by the good and loving clergy and church members he had once counted as friends. Darwin's sin wasn't blaspheming Scripture, it was making people like you uncomfortable because you couldn't dismiss or explain away his observations with the dogma that was the source of their personal spiritual, political and economic capital.

The Who, what and what are not in dispute. The how is where you are hung up and attempting to confabulate science from Scripture isn't flying among the large majority of Christians (check the Catholic Church's position on this). Insisting that those who do not believe exactly like you are not in Communion with God is the act of taking God's name in vain for vain purposes.

TO quote Ronald Reagan; "There you go again.". I will put my conservative bonafides up against yours or anyone elses on FR. It is you and peoplpe like you who wish to suppress dissent to your beliefs. You would gladly remove my 1st Amendment rights to free speech and freedom of religion to remain in your comfort zone. Totalitarian? It is those like you who manipulate God's word, science, and the law for personal purposes that have been the greatest abusers of freedom.

This is the latest straw-man being put forth by people like you to discredit science. However, it is a perfect example of what happens when science is perverted and manipulated by those like you who know nothing of science. Now go point your crooked finger at someone else.
