Natural selection, and Darwin’s motives
I am told the NCSE is now downplaying ‘natural selection’ theory.
We seem to be getting somewhere.

Darwin did a tremendous disservice by putting so much emphasis on natural selection. It was a ‘gimmmick’ and a ‘crank theory’, and, also, the key to what Darwin considered his ‘originality’.
The idea of evolution was already known, the key to his fame and fortune as in the claims for natural selection.
