Why are you changing the subject?

The Ascent of man is the subject of every populist work you can think of -- consider the famous drawing which is lampooned by the picture below, and look at the link... hardly a creationist site.

Cheers!

Why are you changing the subject?

I must have missed something. I asked what it was about Darwinism people should be disabused of. You replied "the Ascent of Man." I point out that Darwin never wrote about "the ascent of man," and you accuse me of changing the subject???

So far, one person has claimed that Darwin's responsible for an idea because he didn't specifically disavow it, and now you say he's responsible for a phrase he didn't write because someone else did. It's hard to get a fix on exactly what "Darwinism" is supposed to be, since there doesn't seem to be a requirement that it have anything to do with what Darwin himself actually wrote. I'm starting to think that "Darwinism" just means "anything I don't like about science or the modern world."
