Hee hee. Something about this post just tickled me. I never thought of it that way. I suppose that explains why Darwin dinked around for 20 years before Wallace's imminent publication forced him to publish his theory. The creos have been bashing away at it ever since.
OTOH, you might have a hard time showing how the great advances in evolutionary theory by the likes of Wright, Fisher, Dobzhansky, Mayr, Wilson, MacArthur, Gould, Eldredge, Lewontin, or even Margulis etc etc were pushed or prodded in any way by creationists. Don't they collectively serve more as brakes than accelerators?
