Here's his theory in a simplified metaphor:
If you took a watch and ripped it apart, and dismantled it so that no piece was attatched to another in any way shape or form, and buried in the ground for a couple billion years, electrocuted it, exposed it to various chemicals, and let it sit, eventually, by some random Frankenstein's monster process, when you unburied it, you would have a complete, working watch.
Darwin though that happened with the first organic molecule 4 billion something years ago
No, of course that makes complete sense. It has to, or else you'll fail your freshman biology test
Darwin, as much as everyone wants your theory to make sense, I've got some news for you... You fail

A girl who is apparently a βboyβ but is actually secretly a girl and acts like one, or maybe heβs just gay, is one of those... Darwin is a weird rare name, a rare specie he is to be exact. Extremely weak & skinny thinks they are cute but really is not, looks like a gringa and is a wannabe Mexican.

First used by Thomas Henry Huxley in a review of Charles Darwin's The Origin of Species in the April 1860 issue of Westminster Review, it has since become a term used by creationists to poison the well when discussing (attempting to discredit) the theory of evolution. By adding the -ism, they imply a system of beliefs or an ideology, hypocritically equating Darwinism to any other crackpot idea.
Calling someone a "Darwinist" or "evolutionist" is about as ridiculous as calling someone who accepts the fact of gravity a "gravitationalist," or someone who believes the earth is spherical a "sphericist."
Darwinism is wrongly thought by many fundamentalists to be the "religion" of atheists. It's true that most atheists accept Darwin's theory, but that fact is irrelevant to their nonbelief in a deity. They simply see no reason to reject something that's obviously true (i.e., it doesn't contradict some other belief that they refuse to give up).
Darwinism isn't a belief system or an ideology. A person who accepts Darwin's theory (after 150+ years and mountains of evidence in its favor) is merely non-delusional.

A buzzword that creationists use to refer to the theory of evolution. They use this word to try to equate the theory of evolution with ideologies like communism and fascism.
Such a tactic is dishonest. The theory of evolution is not an ideology. Ideologies are PROSCRIPTIVE--they make value judgments and say what should and shouldn't be done. The theory of evolution, like all other scientific theories like gravity, relativity, etc., is DESCRIPTIVE--it describes and explains facts. Such theories are testable by analyzing them to see what the predictions that they make, and then seeing if those predictions match the facts.
For example, applying the theory of relativity predicts where the stars will be. We look at our hubble telescope and see that lo and behold, the stars are indeed where the theory predicts them to be!
The theory of evolution predicts that the evidence will show that humans and chimpanzees are closely related. We look at human chromosome 2, and see that it's virtually totally analagous to two chimp chromosomes, and lo and behold, human chromosome 2 has a fusion site with telomeres in the middle of the chromosome! (Imagine taking the 2 chimp chromosomes and "scotch-taping" them together--that's what human chromosome 2 looks like).
darwinism is an example of a stupid and dishonest creationist buzzword.
