1. Let's Get Rid of Darwinism

I agree with the comments made in this article. In fact, I've been thinking along these lines for quite some time. To those who are well-informed, I'm sure they know the difference between "Darwinism" (whatever that is) and evolutionary biology. But to those who are uninformed, they're the same thing. For example, I saw a segment on a talk show that airs on a Christian network that was about the rise of "New Atheism" (another term I'd like to see disappear.) At one point in this segment they referred to Darwin as "the founder of the theory of evolution". To many the theory of evolution begins and ends with Darwin. It is thought that any argument against Darwin discredits evolution. This needs to change.
