In 1997 there was a totally awesomeburger organization for the rudneness-offended called Netizens Against Rudeness in Cyberspace. It was founded by Elly Jordaan (http://www.asecular.com/musings/others/classicelly.htm) but seems to have fallen by the wayside. Here's a link to Elly talking about NARC: http://www.asecular.com/musings/others/elly/022097.htm

The problem with attacks on Darwinian science is that they are done from the perspective of someone who accepts an ancient text as flawless received wisdom. Such a person assumes that we in the scientific community also accept our received wisdom (The Origin of Species, for example) as flawless. But no, we realize that Darwin didn't have all the facts or all that many fossils, that science builds upon the shoulders of giants instead of believing that all of reality was revealed at some point in the distant past. Darwinism looks at nature and sees it performing the scientific method (experiments, paradigm abandonment, etc.) to achieve its ends, even as it itself undergoes these forces.
