Surely you must see the irony of quoting a man who was a creationist while trying to prove evolution? I just thought it was ironic, that's all. Thoughts on your essay to follow, but thank you for pointing that out. I had forgotten about it.

For purposes of communication we need to distinguish between a 'Creationist', which includes Charles Darwin, Einstein and I, and the believer in 'Creation Science'.

I don't think 'irony' fits here. What you may be describing is a contradiction. The beliefs of Einstein were never in contradiction with evolution.
