   Darwin never believed in "Evolution." He wasn't writing about it, not   
   on his 'Origins'. He was writing about common descent, which he had   
   gotten from his grandfather.   
      
   Darwin was hired for the voyage to the Galapagos islands. He never   
   "Discovered" anything. The British sent him -- and other naturalists   
   elsewhere -- BECAUSE they knew of the interests held on the galapagos.   
      
   Darwin never came up with "natural selection." He stole that from   
   Wallace. And Darwin never understood it anyway. Like I said, he never   
   believed in evolution.   
      
   A man named Mendel cracked the secrets of inheritance and contacted   
   Darwin with his findings. Darwin appears to have destroyed what Mendel   
   sent him. Not an isolated incident for Darwin. No, he seems to have   
   also lost letters from Wallace that very well would have made Darwin   
   look a little... unflattering.   
      
   In addition to what Mendel sent Darwin, Darwin owned a book in which   
   an excerpt from Mendel's work was printed. Darwin read the book and   
   to this day the absolute BEST excuse the devout worshipers of the   
   Darwin myth can come up with is that he didn't bother with that part   
   of the book. Afterwards -- AFTER his exposure to Mendel -- Darwin   
   came out with a pseudo scientific "Theory" in competition with Mendel.   
   He called his "Theory" pangenesis.   
      
   Pangenesis was little different from Lysenkoism, what the communist   
   would would later adopt in the place of the study/teaching of   
   evolution. Yes, they banned evolution and instead believed as Darwin   
   believed.   
      
   Darwin's pangenesis and Stalin's Lysenkoism were both cheap copies   
   of Lamarckism, which many will tell you wasn't even original to him!   
      
   A pattern has already formed:  Darwin always looked backwards, never   
   forward:  The very old idea of common descent coupled to his later   
   plagiarism of Lamarck's writings.   
      
   In 20 years, Darwin never once corrected his error. So it took all   
   that time before the English speaking world rediscovered Mendel and   
   actual science -- not the pseudo scientific idiocy of Darwin --   
   could advance.   
      
   Oh. When biology did finally advance, 20 years later, it was no   
   thanks to Darwin.   
      
   So, as we can all see Darwin was a curse on science. If he had been   
   drowned as a baby, as his mother should have rightfully seen to,   
   then someone else would have gotten all the credit, and the odds that   
   this someone else could be as stupid and as damaging as Darwin turned   
   out to be is LAUGHABLE!   
      
   Wallace pretty much got things right BEFORE Darwin. Like I said, it   
   was Wallace that Darwin stole the "Natural Selection" from, even if   
   Darwin never understood it...   
      
      
      
      
     what's your point?!  That Darwin got some things wrong?!  Well,   
   > duh!!  Did you know that Aristotle believed that women were not fully   
   > human??  Of course, such proves that he was a jerk, but as philosophers
