   Did they talk about his methods, like how he didn't test any of his   
   ideas? No, the man argued "Logic," or what seemed logical to him.   
      
   Did they talk about Darwin's real subject, which was common descent?   
      
   Darwin didn't come up with that either. No, he was defending his   
   grandfather's work, a strong proponent of common descent.   
      
   Did they talk about Darwin's one and only theory, "Pangenesis?"   
      
   It was pseudo scientific idiocy.   
      
   What's odd is the enormous effort invested into the Darwin myth.   
      
   The man seems to have routinely "Lost" any correspondence that did   
   not serve him well. It's agreed by everybody outside the Darwin   
   Gatekeepers that Mendel contacted Darwin with his findings, as Mendel   
   had with pretty much every prominent naturalist, but somehow THAT   
   vanished, along with at least a few from Wallace, the true author   
   of "Natural Selection."   
      
   Did they talk about that?   
      
   Did they talk about how, because Darwin did that, Darwin as the   
   name & face of naturalism in the English speaking world, science   
   was held back FOR 20 YEARS!   
      
   Yes it took that long for the English speaking world to rediscover   
   Mendel's work...   
      
   Darwin does not deserve to be remembered at all, and if he must   
   be remembered it needs to be how he was a plague on learning.   
      
   Without Darwin, more deserving men like Wallace & Mendel would   
   have risen to prominence and science would have gained 20 years   
   over our present timeline.
