The instructor teaching this class may well have been of the same mind. Assuming by "Darwinists" you mean "philosophical naturalists", there is nothing in evidence to indicate anyone involved in this was.

On the contrary, the young lady who objected to what the professor was saying may have been the only person in the room who was not a "philosophical naturalist." I do feel fairly assured that the professor was such, and therefore a Darwinist as well (and thus very likely a materialist; the two just go hand-in-hand, like peanut butter and jelly).

I do not think the young lady's objection was the least bit irrational. It seems she understands the "fundamentals" of Darwinism better than the Darwinists purport to do....

On what evidence? It's also possible somebody convniced her she should hate evolution because Darwin was a white guy.

What mechanism do you propose accomplishes evolution?

What evidence do you have that the teacher was doing anything OTHER THAN explaining the scientific principles behind a phenomena that you purportedly accept?

Would there be any way to teach the scientific principles of evolution without presenting a “Darwinist” argument?

Could you do so?

You don't think death threats are the least bit irrational in response to presentation of a theory you purport to accept?
