Reason for article

This article was created as place to move detailed information from History of evolutionary thought as part of the effort to streamline that article per WP:Summary style.Rusty Cashman (talk) 07:47, 13 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Theistic evolution

"By 1900 it had completely disappeared from mainstream scientific discussions, although it continued to be used as a way to reconcile religious belief with scientific discoveries among non-scientists." – why just non-scientists? The theistic evolution article includes Pierre Teilhard de Chardin, Ronald Fisher and Theodosius Dobzhansky as examples. It also states that "In describing early proponents of this viewpoint, it is sometimes described as Christian Darwinism." – don't know to what extent TE was used as a term at that time. Anyway, useful article, thanks. . . dave souza, talk 08:08, 21 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

The eclipse of Darwin vs The eclipse of Darwinism

16:37, 18 July 2008 Orangemarlin (Talk | contribs) m (moved The eclipse of Darwinism to The eclipse of Darwin: Unfortunately, Darwinism is used in a historical context, which might be confusing to the casual reader.) -- is it serious? The Eclipse of Darwinism is a stable catch-phrase, nearly a meme. It served as a book title already. The lead paragraph should make it perfectly clear that the article deals with a historical phenomenon, that's enough. Darwinism is not in danger here.
