DIP,

Is it your contention that we get together every week, gather 'round a fire, beat some drums, incant some chants, and worship Charles Darwin? The tone of your posts gives me the impression that you do. I assure you, there is no "church of Charlie." Darwin went on a few trips, took meticulous notes, and posited some brilliant ideas. He came up with these ideas with a very limited sample, suggested some things that should become more known about, and that was pretty much that. It just turns out that a lot of what he suggested should be, IS. (As I'm sure you know, Alfred Russell Wallace came up with the same ideas Darwin did at the same time, not that that matters much.)

Alfred Russell Wallace

I've been saying "Russell" for the last two days. My late Uncle Wallace would not approve.
