> dhw:I am aware of your view and Tony's view of evolution, and of the difficulties of making a bush and of the enormous skips and jumps (some of which also bothered Darwin), and I expressed my admiration for the article you presented to us, apart from one small criticism: “It's a pity he talks about "Darwin's theory of biological origins" as "atheism's creation myth", when he must know that Darwin's theory of evolution does not cover creation.”

> May I now take it that you are happy with Darwin's conclusion that the Creator originally breathed life into a few forms or one, and may I ask whether you agree with me that it is wrong for both atheists and anti-Darwin theists to misrepresent Darwin's theory of evolution as “atheism's creation myth”?-I've explained why I don't agree with Darwin other than common descent which may well be guided. Darwin vacillated about a 'creator'.
