Is this true, folks?


According to AI Overview:

No, there is no evidence that Charles Darwin was a liar. In fact, reviewers of his 1871 book Descent of Man praised his integrity, candor, thoroughness, and truthfulness.

However, some have accused Darwin of plagiarism, including M. Sutton, who claimed that Darwin was a "plagiarist who lied repeatedly" and committed "deliberate, knowing fraud".

However, others say that Sutton's treatment of Darwin was a personal attack and that the claims of lying are the opposite of what is known about Darwin.

What a strange notion. But it really doesn't matter; evolutionary biology doesn't depend on Darwin's work any more, no matter who he might have cribbed it from.

Then why is Darwin venerated so highly?
  1. Buried in a prominent cemetery.
  2. Capital city named after him.
  3. Face on a unit of legal tender.
  4. Titled: The Father of Evolution.

Darwin was a tool, used by satan as was the serpent and Judas. And will be in the future, the man of sin (king of the north) and the false prophet (antichrist0

For his insight, his out-of-the box idea which led to new understanding. That's generally why we venerate scientists. It's the same as with people like Galileo, Newton and Pasteur.

I somehow don't think scientists have any direct control who gets buried where, what city gets named what, or whose face gets on what tender.

Apparently science's influence goes deep into the public's psyche.

People generally are curious about the world and revere those who help them find out more about it.

That’s a collection of claims. A claim is not evidence. Is my claim of being 6’6” tall evidence?
-
Oh it is evidence just like you claim is evidence. Because either you are or you are not 6,6 tall, so either your claim is false evidence or true evidence.

burdened with such amount of knowledge-- all to spend time on christianforums.com?
a rather odd pastime...

Paul had to put up with that too.

Acts 16:16 And it came to pass, as we went to prayer, a certain damsel possessed with a spirit of divination met us, which brought her masters much gain by soothsaying:
17 The same followed Paul and us, and cried, saying, These men are the servants of the most high God, which shew unto us the way of salvation.
18 And this did she many days. But Paul, being grieved, turned and said to the spirit, I command thee in the name of Jesus Christ to come out of her. And he came out the same hour.
