+126 It bugs you when people refer to evolution as "Darwinism". That makes it sound like a cult or a religion rather than a scientific theory. amirite?

Darwin's theory was called Natural Selection, not "evolution".

I am well aware. But people tend to refer to the whole concept of evolution as "Darwinism" which doesn't really make any sense at all.

I know what you were trying to convey, this is why I agreed with the post. I was just helping the post go a little further by letting those who may not know, that evolution is not even Darwin's theory, thus referring to said theory as "Darwinism" is both ludicrous, and ignorant.

I know! It is like calling all of classical physics "Newtonianism".
