>>>Are you saying Steve Shaw is setting up a religion with Darwin as the bloke with a large grey beard?<<<

Darwin was a bloke with a long gray beard. :-)

Mr. Shaw is equating pete's taking offense to taking Jesus' title in vain to his own offense at pete "taking Darwin's name in vain."

Doesn't that indicate to all that Mr. Shaw is demonstrating a religious attachment to Darwin?

Unbelievers don't care. Mr. Shaw obviously cares to an extraordinary degree.

All of that said, this, for me is a welcome development. This forum would be a much calmer place if pete would just stop talking to his best candidate for conversion.
