Actually, the vast majority of scientists do not attack "myths concerning
evolution except Darwinism" for the simple reason that most scientists
are focused on topics that have little to do with origins.

Darwinism is "well founded in observation and data" in a few cases.
To apply Darwinism to the entire history of life involves massive
extrapolation. Thus, I'd be interested in what you find to be *the*
most impressive example where Darwinism was found to be "well
founded in observation and data."
