More importantly, evolutionary biologists don’t revere Darwin. They recognize his contribution to science, and as you note, he wasn’t the only biologist who was toying with the hypothesis of natural selection leading to new species.
The anti-science creationists, intelligent design, Zork makes with playdoh, etc. that ambasting Darwin as some kind of “gotcha” are projecting their belief that damaging Darwin, then a miracle occurs, natural selection and evolution are no longer viable theories. Just like creationism fails without a supreme creator. Science don’t work that way.
Authoritarians just don’t understand decentralization.
