Darwinism is a religious belief that cannot be proved scientifically. [Richard] Dawkins thinks that because human fetuses look kind of like pig fetuses, that proves that humans are related to pigs. It’s a primitive and fanatical belief system which does not tolerate any criticism of its dogma.

Thinking that humans are somehow related to pigs because fetuses kind of look like it still makes more sense than believing an omnipotent, benevolent and omniscient being created the world within 6 days 6000 years ago. It's kinda like standing in the rainforest with heavy clouds saying "Gee, I think it's gonna rain today" opposed to standing in the Gobi desert claiming there will be a flood.
Re the not tolerating any criticism of it, criticism of the theory of evolution (not "Darwinism") is a good thing and not a bad thing. Criticism hones and improves the model, though admittedly these days there's not much honing to be done.

Nothing can be "proved" scientifically. We get an idea. We test it against reality. If it works, we keep it. If it fails, we get rid of it. Evolution isn't a religious belief, because unlike a religious belief, which has no empirical evidence for it, evolution has a mountain of evidence supporting it.

Once again, Joe sums up his religion very succinctly.

A wall! A wall! My kingdom for a brick wall!
I need to, repeatedly, run head first into a solid brick wall to dull the pain from reading the OP!
@Mech610, actually it's pigshit.

my poe senses are tingling.
if it is true:
> [Richard] Dawkins thinks that because human fetuses look kind of like pig fetuses, that proves that humans are related to pigs.
Even if Dawkins did make that claim, that still doesn't make it true.
Confused?
