QUOTE: "As to the historical claim about Darwin’s lack of success, I have no desire to exaggerate or on the other hand downplay his achievements beyond what the evidence really shows us. It’s important to be honest. It is however a breath of fresh air to have these rather more subdued assessments of Darwin’s work rather than the highly suspect pronouncements made by most avid Darwinists, who tell us that Darwin gave us a sufficiently detailed and unassailable naturalistic account of biological change. He did no such thing."

DAVID's comment: Perfectly valid comment. Orr is an outspoken confirmed Darwinist.

I couldn't agree more. Down with the bigoted defenders, down with the bigoted attackers, and let's have a balanced view of the strengths and the weaknesses of Darwin's different theories.

Thank you for the posts on "time and consciousness" and "ambiguous causality". I'm afraid they both leave me crying out for just a smattering of common sense. But maybe I'm bigoted too.
