Wrong, almost everyone who has any understanding of evolution and Darwin
knows and says this. However, people of your ilk always make some claim
about Darwin, almost always false, and then try to make out that he was
wrong in what you claim.

It is you who are unwilling to be intellectually honest. It is you
who, for some reason, hates Darwin so much that you have to invent
stories, and take quotes out of context in order to force the facts
to fit your prejudices.
