False.

Darwin was still a Christian at the point where he wrote The Origin of Species.

Hi Shemjaza,
Isn't the question a more general one '....invented by man....', rather than by Darwin. I mean we are many years along since his pioneering work?

True.

It's the most fantastical fiction ever dreamt up. With no basis in science or reason, it's perpetuation can only be attributed to intentional and self-inflicted delusion in a desperate attempt to suppress the unavoidable reality of the Creator and King.

True macro-evolution was invented by man.

Darwin believed that there was a God when he wrote his book. But believing and living it as a Child of God are two different things.
Demons believe, they also have the sense to have the fear of God so much to tremble.

Is this an attempt at an argument from absurdity, or do you actually have something other than the powerful use of emotive language to offer?

What is lacking in my post? I've answered your question.

It has a sort of a Richard Dawkins type style to it, thin on evidence

I'll stick with my first answer. It's both true, and nicely put, if I do say so myself. ;)

It seems you've managed to clone his attitude too ( very funny, thank you )

If you've enjoyed that, you should like this. A little ditty by Billy Preston which is all of the argument one needs to dispel the myth of macro evolution as an explanation for the origin of life (or anything else in the material universe). Hit it, Billy!

Isn't the Macro argument a red herring? Just explain how that does that again please?

Jimmy,
A quick read through the Objections to Evolution > Evidence*, provides the following stanza, relative to : '....As biologists define macroevolution, both microevolution and macroevolution have been observed. ....' **/***

*- Objections to evolution - Wikipedia
**- Isaak, Mark, ed. (April 16, 2004). "Index to Creationist Claims: Claim CB901: No Macroevolution". TalkOrigins Archive. Houston, TX: The TalkOrigins Foundation, Inc. Retrieved 2015-03-31. As biologists use the term, macroevolution means evolution at or above the species level. Speciation has been observed and documented. Published as Isaak 2007, pp. 87–88
***- Dawkins 2010, pp. 110–

Did he actually believe in a god? - for you wrote that he '....believed there was a God....' but that he believed like demons believe -- am I to conclude that Darwin was a phony-Christian?
