    What do you call it then?

    Sorry, not sure what the question is. Darwin was trying to describe the mechanism of change in species.

    So, the challenge is to believe it without being an -ist?

    Do you have instructions for this?

    Officially? They're called biological scientists. There is no belief. Do you believe in theory of computer science? Physics?

    Natural selection acting on random mutations is the pure science: it’s the mechanism.

    I’m not sure how you can use the fossil record, as a record in support of a theory, and ‘not’ end up with an historical account.

    All science refers to history to some extent. Darwin is not unique.

    So, if I say I don’t believe in evolution—that’s a meaningless statement?

    Evolutionary science is a sub-category of biology, btw.

    Do you believe in computers?

    Sometimes I believe that my laptop will power on when I press the button.

    I think evolution is a basic principle for biology.

    How so?

    How does organic chemistry refer to history?

    History is whatever happened before, literally.

    Evolution functions as a kind of ‘back drop’ to most of biology. IOW, it’s not necessary to know it in order to understand osmosis or active transport or mitosis or a thousand other etc’s.

    It’s its own discipline.

    Not really, evolution is presumed in most research in biology.

    Never heard of it. But, why should I have to explain everything you throw out as a question?
