So... we are to blame all of the world’s ills on a millennia-old scientific theory that Darwin finally articulated in a form that vastly enabled biological science to advance?

BTW, the tactic of calling scientific inquiry “Darwinism” is really cute. Those who try to discredit science by referring to it as a religion are saying more about their opinion of religion and the faithful than they are about the scientific method. Or, more simply, by saying that science is bogus because it is a religion, these “creationists” imply that all religion is bogus. Does that *really* promote the Christian faith?

You seem quite confused.

The scientific method does not apply to ancient, unobservable, and unrepeatable phenomena. In fact, cosmogony is not even a legitimate field of science. It is strictly the purview of Divine Revelation and theology.

What a list of stereotypes.

First of all, creationism has nothing to do with chrstianity. Genesis pre-existed chrstianity for a thousand years as a written text, and pre-existed the universe by 974 generations as part of the Torah, through which G-d created the world. This notion that the Hebrew Bible is "chrstian" (G-d forbid!) is the worst form of "cultural appropriation," though don't expect any leftists--especially Jewish ones--to say this, since this would undercut their childish hatred of it.

Second of all, chrstianity is false. At most it alleged truth can only be assumed from the get-go and can never be known with certainty.

Third of all, "faith" has nothing to do with it. The ultimate Revelation is the Revelation at Sinai, which does not rest on religious faith at all but absolute certitude. Being a cultural chrstian (whether positive or negative), you've never heard this of course. Any 'Aish HaTorah Discovery Seminar will explain quite well how the Revelation of Sinai is known fact unlike every other claim of Divine Revelation in history. Or you could read this article.

Fourth of all, "religion" is a fraud. The whole idea of "religion" as merely one tiny little aspect of life in among many others is absolutely antithetical to the true idea of the Sovereignty of G-d. G-d is neither opinion nor ethno-cultural folklore. G-d is absolute reality. Check you so-called chrstian "old testament" and you will see that in ancient Israel G-d ran and governed absolutely everything, not just the things we have come to think of as matters of "religion." The entire ancient world did this. The whole concept of G-d as something separate from the "real world" called "religion" is what ultimately put us in this mess.

Have I said enough?

Evidently you aren't quite as much of an "ex" Dem as you think you are.
