This is a claim to knowledge. I will wait for you to substantiate it, since, as you would have me believe, you indeed are knowledgeable.

What he accomplished was a well-supported theory of evolution. It was a remarkable accomplishment.
Well supported you say.... indeed you would say that....
Too bad Darwin himself was not as confident as many of you are regarding his theory.

In this thread, and on this forum in general, we all know what we mean by 'evolution. It is the modern synthesis, neo-Darwinism.
Neo-Darwinism is dead. Surely you knew this, all wise Chas?

You will not get people to surrender their atheistic positions, and turn to Christianity, based on presenting false facts about evolution. What you will do however, is succeed in cementing the notion that many secular people have of Christians, and that is...that they are ignorant when it comes to science.
Quit while you're ahead, in other words.
Still waiting for you to address my response to your assertion.
