What's in a name?

That is a good idea; teaching refutations to ID arguments would be more effective than ingoring the topic. Too bad I didn't think of that.

there might be some difference between darwinism and the theory of evolution
darwinism is what he believed but evolution is what we now understand from what he discovered but I dont really know
for me this is just a battle of terms

we had known that it is not only darwin who took this subject(the theory) seriously
People might have thought that he tried to deviate himself from God or his theory was some sort of different from that of the "real" evolution

How did you triple post the same subject alex?
did you have a problem with your computer?

[alextemplet]

Yes, I had a serious problem with my computer. My bad.

The mods are watching.

Feel free to delete the excess if you like. I won't be offended.

[MrMistery]

already done before my first post actually

Back to the main topic, Evolution is what we understand of the theory now and Darwinism is the incorrect term that is mistakenly used, or at least that is what I believe the other posts are trying to get at.

[MrMistery]

rahter ill-willingly than mistakenly

[alextemplet]

I agree; the mis-identification of evolution has more to do with malevolence than ignorance.

As you said it!

[volcob]

evolution might be a better term(no offense)
