2025 RationalWiki 'Oregon Plan' Fundraiser

There is no RationalWiki without you. We are a small non-profit with no staff—we are hundreds of volunteers who document pseudoscience and crankery around the world every day. We will never allow ads because we must remain independent. We cannot rely on big donors with corresponding big agendas. We are not the largest website around, but we believe we play an important role in defending truth and objectivity.

Fighting pseudoscience isn't free.
We are 100% user-supported! Help and donate $5, $10, $20 or whatever you can today with PayPal Logo.png!

Hitchings - My source describes Hitching's book as creationist:

  • Talk origin - "Hitching's book spends much of its time attacking Darwinian evolution, borrowing heavily and uncritically from young-earth creationist arguments."
  • Answers in Genesis - doesn't like Hitching's rejection of scripture, but applauds his anti-Darwinism. VOXHUMANA 11:50, 18 February 2013 (UTC)
Francis Hitching is not a creationist (I have his book), he rejects the Darwinian theory of evolution you are correct, but not the fact of evolution. Perhaps you should look at Non-Darwinian evolution. I am not saying Hitching's views are mainstream. Dawkins and Gould criticised his book, but it would be wrong to classify him as a creationist.

I'll agree he is not a creationist in the typical sense of the word. I've modified it to read "Anti-Darwinist" - does that work for you? VOXHUMANA 21:48, 18 February 2013 (UTC)
Yes no worries mate, that is fine. I was going to spend some more time on rationalwiki debunking creationists but I am too busy and have retired from this site. The article you have created here is a good one. Forests (talk) 00:32, 20 February 2013 (UTC)
Meh, I come, I go, I come back. It all depends on what's going on in my real life. Good luck and take care regardless. VOXHUMANA 02:03, 20 February 2013 (UTC)
