   Hey, don't you get it?  (Yet?!!)   
      
   Pangenesis was a NATURALISTIC view of Creation!  (Ergo, "no God was   
   necessary.")  Prior to Darwin, the dominant view among scholars was that   
   of William Paley:   
      
   https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/William_Paley   
      
   In particular, this:   
      
   https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Natural_Theology_or_Evidences_of_t   
   e_Existence_and_Attributes_of_the_Deity   
      
   In particular, Professor Paley's Watchmaker analogy:   
      
   https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Watchmaker_analogy   
      
   Darwin changed that!  Yes, Darwin got some things wrong.  Galileo did,   
   too!  (Galileo claimed that a wire suspended just with its own weight   
   would take the shape of a parabola.  Not true!  With no load, the wire's   
   shape would be that of a catenary; with a load, a parabola.)  Was   
   Galileo an "idiot"?!  No!!  Just not perfect; no scholar is, by the way.   
      
   Under your view, everyone is an idiot!
