What is Darwinism?

Is it science or is better described by another term? Is the term Darwinism just a rhetorical device used by its detractors? We'll examine the works of science, philosophy, and history to find out exactly what's up with Darwinism.

I've read many comments here, and once again, find the same talking points and protests among Darwinists who are butt-hurt that their precious theory is exposed as the religious fraud it is.

Darwinism = religion

Ha ha in our 6th grade class Darwinism means survival of the fittest

Secondly If you look at the layers of the fossiles ,and look at the cretures from one layer to the next you see no in between fossiles ,which is what you would expect if evolution were true.

Also fossiles don't take millions of years to form ,because they have found a fossile of a miners hat made of solid stone.

[7420Ideasman]

Scientist look at fossile layers and state that the creatures on the lower layers evolves into more complex cretures over time but their are many issues with that theory. First is that their are many fossiles found verticle through many layers ,and many sets of layers all over the world. How could something die and wait millions of years for sediment to cover it without it breaking down it hast to happen instantly (clear evedence of a great flood).

[7420Ideasman]

The Theory of Evolution sais that a creature takes in a piece of information and passes it down to the next generation and, that over the chorse of millions of years it cahnges into another spieces. How could this be? If it takes millions of years for someting to evolve how does it survive? Some Evolutionist state that evolution can happen in sudden burst ,but why havent we seen any evolutionairy canged ,so that cant be so either.

If we had found all fossils completley random (without a timeline) if we had no system of Information-copieing, if breeding would not work, if there were no tracks of DNA of older lifeforms in other animals, if we woud not see a slow change of attributes if a kind changes its habitat, or every year knew versions of Viruses...we could say that

Evolution cant predict...But we cant predict which solution will be the most successful, like nobody can say which music will be popular next decade.

[DerGuteHut]

Biology don't make predictions?

Sure it does.

Like the following:

We will find diffrent kind of animals types in diffrent layers and we will find a Timeline...which means we wont find dinosaurs 1000 Years ago and no dogs 200 Mio Years ago.

This only make sense if animal evolved not if they were created.

It predicts that there must be a Stuff inside lifeforms that have the potential to copy information, and that this copy-process is failable.

It also predicts that all creatures are related.

Darwinism is a term that is regarded as pejorative by fundamentalist organizations mostly in the US but not not as much by others. Especially in Europe. As someone how delights in petty word play, you seize on the opportunity to associate it with established scientists who only use it to describe the basic idea of evolution theory. It's not that they are unaware that you use it as a derogatory slur. They just don't care what you think.
