“Sure, strictly defined”

Words have meaning, at least to most people.

“often includes many pejorative claims”
==
I can tell you don’t find silly ad hominem style attempts to be very intellectual. “LouisIana”.

“saying pretty much it’s the source of all evil today.”

People who *may* (ahem, strawman) claim that are wrong; it’s the source belief system of much evil, but not all. Mankind has little trouble in finding enough excuses and reasons to commit wrong.

LouieFisk: “LouisIana”.

Sorry for that gross typo. This tablet has an automatic word completion function which sometimes does the very unexpected.
Yes, I catch most of those, but obviously not all.

LouieFisk on Darwin root of evil: ** “People who *may* (ahem, strawman) claim that are wrong; it’s the source belief system of much evil, but not all.

Indeed, so-called Darwinism is not the source of evil, but can be used for evil purposes by evil people.
For simple analogies, consider swords or guns.
By themselves neither good nor evil, but can be used for either purpose, depending on human intentions.

I’m saying, blaming “Darwinism” for evil is like blaming guns for crime.
