Darwin
Personally, I have no objections at all to Darwin himself, or his theories. I have always preferred science to religion; because I see no reason for God to exist with Darwin's theory of evolution ‘explaining' the Bible in terms that do not require a supernatural being.
Sure, there are still some questions which remain to be convincingly answered, such as those about the origin of life itself (on Earth). However, as with the Periodic Table, all of the necessary elements of a theory are not always present at its creation (no pun intended). Many elements were discovered after the creation of the Periodic Table, and a similar thing will happen with Darwin's Theory in my opinion. There has been continuing progress in this field, and there is no reason to believe that the current Theory of Evolution will become more robust in the future.
This is in contrast to the creationists who insist upon the biblical version of history. I have not got a problem with this per se, but when these creationists lobby to have an unscientific, unproved, and arguably arbitrary version of the origins of life taught in schools' science lessons, there is something very wrong indeed.
The very fact that Darwin's Theory has stood the test of time
