Scientific Debate: Why I assert that Darwin's theory of evolution is false

RE: Scientific Debate: Why I assert that Darwin's theory of evolution is false
I always love how these fuckheads who claim to know so much about "Darwin" don't seem to know that he was a creationist.

Quote:Authors of the highest eminence seem to be fully satisfied with the view that each species has been independently created. 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. When I view all beings not as special creations, but as the lineal descendants of some few beings which lived long before the first bed of the Silurian system was deposited, they seem to me to become ennobled. Judging from the past, we may safely infer that not one living species will transmit its unaltered likeness to a distant futurity.

--Charles Darwin, Origin of Species, Chapter 14

Of course, Darwin was writing in 1860 and can be forgiven for being a creatard. Modern creatards get no such dispensation!
