Darwin was one of the pioneers, but there are newer figures in the study of evolution, and "darwinism" has become a colloquialism. There are newer evolutionary models along the same line scientists refer to as "modern evolutionary synthesis" (this is like what "general relativity" is to its former "laws of gravity"

The cambrian explosion is something i was going to explain as well

There was a study done not to long ago in the scientific community. It found that (out of the ENTIRE scientific community, some not in any kind of biological field at all) around 40% believed in creator-guided evolution. That means that a creator (not necessarily a biblical god) laid out all the plans and they're happening as designed. Absolutely plausible. Around 60% did NOT believe in creator-guided evolution. Also absolutely plausible. The rest around 5% did NOT believe in any form of evolution at all. All atheists may understand evolution, but most of faith do as well. we're not saying "oh you believe in god so you don't understand evolution" because that's not the case. They are two separate things.

Dawkins has his Masters and PhD in Ethology, the study of animal behavior. He is very much a scientist.

Its not, because they're not opposites. You can, and people of faith do understand evolution

The interpretation of that evidence is up to the men/women who observe it. I can say that only ONE FACT is actually true and apparent based on empirical evidence...Some thing did happen to start the universe/life....what that is, is up to how such evidence is observed.
I think you're starting to understand....
