Err...

From wikipedia..
Quote:Darwinism is a theory of biological evolution developed by Charles Darwin and others, stating that all species of organisms arise and develop through the natural selection of small, inherited variations that increase the individual's ability to compete, survive, and reproduce.

I mean, I know creationists hear the "ism" at the end and immediately consider it a worldview/ideology/religion, but it's a legitimate term coined by Huxley himself.
In every country and every age, the priest had been hostile to Liberty.
