Classical Darwinism has already been disproven. The truth is that genetic mutation and adaption takes place in very short time spaces like one or two generations.

I mean you evolutionists are brainwashed by a guy who had no knowledge of genetics when he wrote his theories.

All change is genetic mutation in response to environment and social behavioral interaction.

Uh…by whom? I’m sure if you have some research to this effect, evolutionists world-wide would be very excited to see it.  
Genetic mutations happen _every_ generation. Adaptation is the result of natural selection. Which is, surprisingly enough, what Darwin argued for. The fact that he knew nothing about genetics and _still_ got it right supports “Classical Darwinism”, rather than disproves it.

Yeah, we were brainwashed just like all those physicists were by Newton. I mean, he knew nothing about relativity, so Newtonian mechanics are completely wrong, right?

Sorry, but Lamarckism has been disproven for some time now.
