Beyond science

As Darwin’s theory has evolved over the years, it has become the officially sanctioned creation story of the western world, almost universally affirmed by the academy and successfully defended against heresy. Teachers who express doubts are subject to re-education or even dismissal in extreme cases, while ordinary folks are ridiculed as anti-science (a bad thing) or as closet Christian fundamentalists (a very bad thing.)

What did Darwin have to say about creation? His theory talks heavily about animal diversity and how they got there, but I really don’t remember what he had to say about the actual creation part of the equation. Seems that what I could find of his beliefs is that he might fit in with the intelligent design people somewhat. But his idea of what happened after is what has the fundies hating on him.
