Fundamentally Darwin created a theory that will be the basis to our final understanding of evolution.

@Jaggedsac, I love the way you laid out the problem with discussing Darwinism. At present, the religious bodies, creationism and intelligent design are not disproved or attacked by Darwinism. In fact most logical people could conclude that all Darwinism, Creationism and Intelligent Design could all be possible without disproving the others (although the extreme Creationist is specifically targeting Darwinism).

@Bursche, going over some of the more detailed biological similarities and differences different species share, it is possible to follow back these "trees" to a common ancestor. Darwinism doesn't specifically target these ideas of evolution, although modern thinking and extensive fossil evidence helps reinforce the idea that Darwins theories of evolution can be adapted to support the broader ideas behind evolution of different species.
