   Absolute and utter nonsense.  Darwin's 'On the Origin of Species' is   
   "considered to be the foundation of evolutionary biology."

   Outside of the creationists, please find me a SINGLE scholar who agrees   
   with you on your claim that Charles Darwin "was an idiot".  On the   
   following list:

   Mr. Darwin is listed as #4.
