That’s why they refer to the theory of evolution as “Darwinism”, as if it were some kind of political movement with a murky agenda, founded by Charles Darwin.

See for example The View’s May 5th debate on evolution:

This way, scientific findings are merely opinions, subject to debate and persuasion, just like the many competing supernatural belief systems.
