More of this, please.

We’ve been told by more than one of our colleagues that, even if Darwin was substantially wrong to claim that natural selection is the mechanism of evolution, nonetheless we shouldn’t say so.

Not, anyhow, in public.

To do that is, however inadvertently, to align oneself with the Forces of Darkness, whose goal it is to bring Science into disrepute.

Well, we don’t agree.

We think the way to discomfort the Forces of Darkness is to follow the arguments wherever they may lead, spreading such light as one can in the course of doing so.

What makes the Forces of Darkness dark is that they aren’t willing to do that. What makes Science scientific is that it is.
