==Evolution is still an observed fact.

Only on the micro-level. Molecules to man evolution is not an observed fact, otherwise the evos wouldn’t be getting their butts kicked by Creation and ID scientists.

==Evolution is still an observed fact. If Einstein had been a pedophile, would E not equal MC ^ 2? This is about facts, not personalities.

We’re not talking about whether Darwin is a pedophile, we are talking about whether he stole his theory from other scientists. If so, Darwin himself will have to be dethroned, and the Darwinian ToE will have to begin with a new name (or names).

No, that's not correct. We have a huge number of observations of evolution in the fossil record, in the lab and in genetics. The evidence is overwhelming, and it is certainly not limited to "the micro-level."

I understand that to you disbelief in evolutionary science may be an article of faith and no amount of evidence will persuade you otherwise. But hopefully there are others more susceptible to reason on this thread.

We’re not talking about whether Darwin is a pedophile, we are talking about whether he stole his theory from other scientists.

And? What does that have to do with whether or not his theory is correct?

And rabid creationists will have to pick a new name to demonize.

Really, this is silly. You can't disprove the theory of evolution so you are left with trying to discredit its author -- 150 years after the fact.

This sure shows the bankruptcy of creationism and ID. And it says something about those individuals eager to believe any ill of Darwin.

So this of historical and intellectual interest. Scientifically, it is meaningless. Cool.
