Mayr is not just talking about how things went in the dim dark historical past, as if somehow y'all evolutionists got it straightened out since then. No, Mayr's clearly talking about the present-day too.
Indeed, notice how Mayr repeatedly uses PRESENT TENSE in his statements:
| Quote | First, Darwinism rejects
all supernatural phenomena and causations.
The theory of evolution by natural selection explains
the adaptedness and diversity of the world solely materialistically.
It no longer requires
God as creator or designer (although one is certainly still free to believe in God even if one accepts evolution). |
Present tense, not past tense. And you'll notice that NOWHERE in the SciAm article (please check!) does Mayr take back any of these specific statements, nor relegates them back to any historical dustbins.
Present tense, Robin.
