I always found it amusing that so many creatards did not understand that Darwin was one of them:
He merely dismissed their particular poetic fairy tale notion of creation which, as is always true of religious nuts, is enough to earn their enmity.
Of course, we have come a long way since Darwin and now understand that creationism is the exclusive province of the terminally stupid.

To my mind it accords better with what we know of the laws impressed on matter by the Creator, that the production and extinction of the past and present inhabitants of the world should have been due to secondary causes, like those determining the birth and death of the individual.
