How I came to believe (Introduction)
> DAVID: I've explained why I don't agree with Darwin other than common descent which may well be guided. Darwin vacillated about a 'creator'. > > dhw: But you have not said whether you are happy with what Darwin actually wrote at the conclusion of Origin. I am also quite shocked at your continued refusal to distance yourself from those atheists and anti-Darwin theists who misrepresent Darwin's theory of evolution as “atheism's creation myth” when you have actually criticized Darwin for NOT dealing with creation and when he himself made it crystal clear that his theory was not atheistic.-Of course I am happy with his 'creator' sentence; the issue is whether he really meant it, or was it a sop to the religious. I also have noted that atheists use Darwin because the theory of evolution is totally a chance mechanism which fits their agenda. The word 'creation' also encompasses the process of evolution in which new forms are 'created'.
