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

Certainly! I would simply refer you to Genesis 1 and 2.

These books do not purport to be "scientific" texts. But it seems to me that all of science — indeed, all of human rationality — is absolutely premised on them.

Whatever the case, read these texts — with an open mind and an open heart.

Maybe if you do, you will learn something new and valuable about cosmic and terrestrial evolution....

That would be a big zero.

Genesis 1 and 2 is no more an instruction on the scientific principles of evolution than it is an instruction on the scientific principles of nuclear fusion.

What do you think the mechanism of this evolution you say you believe in is?

Is it natural selection of genetic variation?

Would explaining the mechanism you say you believe in be a Darwinist argument?
