It's an incredibly brilliant theory for it's time and especially considering that they didn't even have Mendelian Genetics to work with yet.
My point was just that it's no longer "Darwinism" and people who call it such are usually trying to make the argument that it's based on faith and a belief system. All part of that wedge strategy.
