    In Darwin's own words:

    "There is grandeur in this view of life; with its several powers having been
    originally breathed by the Creator into a few forms or into one; and that,
    whilst this planet has gone cycling on according to the fixed law of
    gravity, from so simple a beginning endless forms most wonderful and most
    beautiful have been, and are being, evolved."

    Is this the sentiment you want to stamp out? Or, do you wish to contest
    maximal naturalism?

    And if it's the latter, why demonize the name of Darwin to make your point?
    How would you like your name demonized to make a point foreign to your own
    agenda?
