What is Darwin?
1.
A naturalist, who proposed and provided scientific evidence that all species of life have evolved over time from common ancestors through the process he called natural selection. Misunderstood by religious zealots, the mildly retarded and scientifically challenged individuals. Despised by
Darwin put an end to anyone with an IQ over 80 believing that the earth was created in six days by some mythological superhero 6000 years ago.

darwin, charles was a alcoholic man with suicide inclinations, a huge white barb and a amateur interest for the nature. Inspired by his 33th grade freemason grandfather, erasmus darwin, the absurd theories of malthus and other primitive inanities, he considered his theory of evolution, by
The man who floored the theory of evolution is
This "theory of evolution by natural selection" gave rise to doubts from the very first:
1- What were the "natural and coincidental variations" referred to by Darwin? It was true that some cows were bigger than others, while some had darker colors, yet how could these variations provide an explanation for the diversity in animal and plant species?
2- Darwin asserted that "Living beings evolved gradually." In this case, there should have lived millions of "transitional forms." Yet there was no trace of these theoretical creatures in the fossil record. Darwin gave considerable thought to this problem, and eventually arrived at the conclusion that "further research would provide these fossils."
3- How could natural selection explain complex organs, such as eyes, ears or wings? How can it be advocated that these organs evolved gradually, bearing in mind that they would fail to function if they had even a single part missing?
4- Before considering these questions, consider the following: How did the first organism, the so-called ancestor of all species according to Darwin, come into existence? Could natural processes give life to something which was originally inanimate?
Darwin was, at least, aware of some these questions, as can be seen from the chapter "Difficulties of the Theory." However, the answers he provided had no scientific validity. H.S. Lipson, a British physicist, makes the following comments about these "difficulties" of Darwin's:
On reading The Origin of Species, I found that Darwin was much less sure himself than he is often represented to be; the chapter entitled "Difficulties on Theory" for example, shows considerable self-doubt. As a physicist, I was particularly intrigued by his comments on how the eye would have arisen.1
Darwin invested all his hopes in advanced scientific research, which he expected to dispel the "difficulties of the theory." However, contrary to his expectations, more recent scientific findings have merely increased these difficulties.

Verb - To kill for the purpose of removing said object from the gene pool. The individuals to whom this verb is applied should not, in the speaker's eyes, be allowed to reproduce and pass along their genes. Note: it is a purely humorous word, no one is actually supporting violence upon other human beings.
The word stems from a reference to Charles Darwin who first suggested natural selection as a primary method of evolution.

2. Jeff is such a moron he should be darwined so he doesn't pass along stupid genes.

Common slang for a ten pound note (english sterling). The term 'Darwin' denotes the value of the note because of the use of Charles Darwin's face on the reverse of the bank note.
Other amounts in note form are characterised by the face used on the reverse of the note, e.g. a 'Smith', used instead of saying 'twenty pounds', because of the use of Adam Smith's face.
