Since when is Darwinism not a belief system? What does "ism" mean to you?
And even if you used the ending by accident, who says Darwinism is not a
belief system???? I had to re-read that statement several times before I
believed you really said that! Perhaps the biggest evidence that it is a
belief system, as anyone needed it, is that in spite of your second
phrase...that Darwinists (there's that ending again) are not all that
united... they present a thoroughly united front to any assault by creationists.
