‘Down with Darwinism’
I’ve been fuming ever since hearing Michael Ruse speak on Friday night. It’s a crying shame that the skeptics at the 12th World Congress had to get their information about evolution from him.
One of the things I detest about Michael Ruse is his insistence on using the word “Darwinism” to describe evolutionary biology. As most of you know I am not a Darwinist.
Adam M. Goldstein at Evolution:Education and Outreach reminds us that we should all stop using the word “Darwinism” when we are trying to educate people about evolutionary biology
The term persists because it accurately refers to the reality of the Darwin paradigm.
To get past the word, get past the ‘theory’ of natural selection
