Of course Darwin is wrong.

For centuries, it’s been known that the metaphysical, theological, and cosmogonic arguments against evolution are irrefutable:

Pangloss was professor of metaphysico-theologico-cosmolo-nigology. He
proved admirably that there is no effect without a cause, and that, in
this best of all possible worlds, the Baron’s castle was the most
magnificent of castles, and his lady the best of all possible
Baronesses.

“It is demonstrable,” said he, “that things cannot be otherwise than as
they are; for all being created for an end, all is necessarily for the
best end. Observe, that the nose has been formed to bear
spectacles—thus we have spectacles. Legs are visibly designed for
stockings—and we have stockings. Stones were made to be hewn, and to
construct castles—therefore my lord has a magnificent castle; for the
greatest baron in the province ought to be the best lodged. Pigs were
made to be eaten—therefore we eat pork all the year round. Consequently
they who assert that all is well have said a foolish thing, they should
have said all is for the best.”

QED.

If Pangloss were alive today, think what the Discovery Institute would pay him.

I should say that “Darwin” is “wrong.” My researches have shewn that On the Origin of Species in truth was authored by Francis Bacon. The work was deliberately constructed so as to divert the credulous literal reader away from the deep allegory encrypted therein.
