Orzechowski said the theory was "a feeble idea of an aged non-believer,"

Hmmm. I guess antievolutionists are uninformed everywhere. Darwin first developed his theory of evolution around 1838, at which time he was 29 years old. Although he would later become an agnostic, at that time he was still a Christian.

who had come up with it "perhaps because he was a vegetarian and lacked fire inside him."

Geez! Where is he coming up with this stuff? Darwin was never a vegetarian. Heck, during the Beagle voyage, while riding the pampas of Argentina with local gauchos, he ate little except meat for weeks at a time.

I await the post that asserts Charles Darwin was the originator of Stalinism, the Holocaust, advisor to Pol Pot, and single-handedly conspired to fluoridate the water supply.

Although there's no definitive evidence that he was himself a vegetarian, Darwin believed that man evolved with a frugivorous diet similar to the apes.
The true amount of meat that's consumed by chimpanzees wasn't discovered until a century later.

Related issue, does anyone seriously argue that Darwin's the agnosticism is not related to embracing a closed naturalistic system to explain all phenomena?

It always amuses me how some insist that it is possible to believe that God "used" evolution to bring about the biological world, When asked how that is possible, they cite, "well so-snd-so belives it." When pressed for the actual argument of how this works, however, there isn't any argument there, just some more feel-good ad hominems.
