Creationists getting tired of attacking Darwin and Dawkins?
Now they are after Einstein.
When will the BS end?

If you actually knew anything about it, you wouldn't call it "Darwinism".
When people stop questioning current theory, they stop being scientific.

Originally posted by mtthwDo you assert that there is no relationship between relativity and relativism? That is other than the obvious root word similarity?

The Theory of Relativity has absolutely no relevance to moral relativism, social relativism, cultural relativism etc. It's simply a statement of how the laws of physics work in frames of reference that are moving with respect to each other. Anyone who thinks it's relevant to issues beyond that doesn't understand it.

There are many creationists that do claim to have more certainty than any scientist would.

Originally posted by twhiteheadDarwinism designates a distinctive form of evolutionary explanation for the history and diversity of life on earth. Its original formulation is provided in the first edition of On the Origin of Species in 1859. This entry first formulates ‘Darwin's Darwinism’ in terms of five philosophically distinctive themes: (i) probability and chance, (ii) the nature, power and scope of selection, (iii) adaptation and teleology, (iv) nominalism vs. essentialism about species and (v) the tempo and mode of evolutionary change.
