See Darwin Awards.        <\/p>\n<p>      He lit up a match to check if the tank had gas in it.      Darwinism ensued.    <\/p>\n<p>        Such a tactic is dishonest. The theory of evolution is not        an ideology. Ideologies are PROSCRIPTIVE--they make value        judgments and say what should and shouldn't be done. The        theory of evolution, like all other scientific theories        like gravity, relativity, etc., is DESCRIPTIVE--it        describes and explains facts. Such theories are testable by        analyzing them to see what the predictions that they make,        and then seeing if those predictions match the facts.      <\/p>\n<p>        For example, applying the theory of relativity predicts        where the stars will be. We look at our hubble telescope        and see that lo and behold, the stars are indeed where the        theory predicts them to be!      <\/p>\n<p>        The theory of evolution predicts that the evidence will        show that humans and chimpanzees are closely related. We        look at human chromosome 2, and see that it's virtually        totally analagous to two chimp chromosomes, and lo and        behold, human chromosome 2 has a fusion site with telomeres        in the middle of the chromosome! (Imagine taking the 2        chimp chromosomes and \"scotch-taping\" them together--that's        what human chromosome 2 looks like).      <\/p>\n<p>      darwinism is an example of a stupid and dishonest creationist      buzzword.    <\/p>\n<p>        Often used to refer to things far outside the purview of        Darwin's theory of evolution, which relied solely on        natural selection as the mechanism for change.      <\/p>\n<p>      Darwinism can't explain the bacterial flagellum, but      intelligent design can!    <\/p>\n<p>        Calling someone a \"Darwinist\" or \"evolutionist\" is about as        ridiculous as calling someone who accepts the fact of        gravity a \"gravitationalist,\" or someone who believes the        earth is spherical a \"sphericist.\"      <\/p>\n<p>        Darwinism is wrongly thought by many fundamentalists to be        the \"religion\" of atheists. It's true that most atheists        accept Darwin's theory, but that fact is irrelevant to        their nonbelief in a deity. They simply see no reason to        reject something that's obviously true (i.e., it doesn't        contradict some other belief that they refuse to give up).      <\/p>\n<p>      Darwinism isn't a belief system or an ideology. A person who      accepts Darwin's theory (after 150+ years and mountains of      evidence in its favor) is merely non-delusional.    <\/p>\n<p>      A theory developed by Charles Darwin to explain evolution      using natural selection.    <\/p>\n<p>      Darwinism is a theory developed by Charles Darwin to explain      evolution using natural selection.    <\/p>\n<p>      Darwinsm is a religion. Darwinists believe that everyone has      9 lives like a cat. Charles Darwin is the religious leader      but he is not a god. Because he only lost one of his 9 lives,      he is not dead, but living under water. The holy food of      Darwinsm is butter. Darwinists eat at least 2 oz. of butter      per meal and eat 5 meals per day. Eating butter is their way      to connect to Charles Darwin. They also go to Costco at least      once a week and they go to every sample twice. The biggest      holiday is on the 4th of July and all Darwinists compete in      the hot dog eating contest. Followers of Darwinsm also must      go to a fancy pie restaurant on this holiday and when a      waiter\/waitress asks them if they would care for a slice of      pie, they yell their motto, \"WE DONT TAKE JUST ONE SLICE OF      PIE, WE TAKE THE WHOOLLEEE THING!\" Darwinists are fat merlin      atheist cats.    <\/p>\n<p>      Do u practice darwinism?    <\/p>\n<p>        Darwinism is also a term used for religious atheist        adherents of the theory who constantly talk about        evolution, won't accept any criticism about their wrong        atheistic naturalistic interpretation of evolution and        their model for evolution and those who religiously worship        Darwin. An atheist who does these things can be called a        \"Darwinist\".      <\/p>\n<p>      Darwinism as explained above.    <\/p>\n<p><!-- Auto Generated --><\/p>\n<p>Follow this link:<\/p>\n<p><a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"http:\/\/www.urbandictionary.com\/define.php?term=Darwinism\" title=\"Urban Dictionary: Darwinism\">Urban Dictionary: Darwinism<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p> The process by which, via natural selection, unfit specimens remove themselves from the gene pool.
