It has been used so many ways that I don't see any profit in arguing about what is the right definition. It is just a short hand way to summarize one person's view of what that person thinks Darwin said.<br /><br />I think it is more useful to discuss how new species form. That seems like the proper target.Garynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37148773.post-61075047900822139682010-11-12T08:52:28.379-05:002010-11-12T08:52:28.379-05:00The debates and conversations IDers have amongst t...The debates and conversations IDers have amongst themselves are both sad and funny. They always seem to me to basically come to the same conclusion: Act as if ye have science, and science shall be granted unto you.

I would prefer to see the term "Darwinism" dropped, as outdated. I am not a Darwinist, though I am an evolutionist (to the extent that a non-biologist can be one). I can recognize Darwinism as historically important and a good first attempt. But science has advanced beyond that.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
