Beware the strawman of Dawinism [View All]

[hexola]

A Christian friend of mine had a DVD called "How to debate a Creationist?" - I havent watched it yet - but on the disc - I knew it - a picture of good ol' Darwin. The disc supposedly contains a debate where a creationist trounces a evolutionist (but not a scientist)

The Creationists love to paint Darwin as the sole bearer all of Evolutionary theory. He is not.

Why?

Because Darwin WAS WRONG about a lot of stuff...he got the main idea right - Natural Selection...but its taken the efforts of thousands of scientists to complile the current, modern theory of evolution.

But the Creationists think - if we can disprove Darwin - well of course, all of evolution must be wrong. This approach appeals to the uneducated. And seemingly to their own kind - who despite the power of their "faith" - seem to need see this kind of affirmation.

Just keep on the lookout for this approach - and just tell them "Yeah Darwin was wrong about a lot of stuff..." They will scratch their heads...
