There is no such thing as 'Darwinism' or 'Darwinian evolution'

Darwinism has not much to do with darwin anymore: Its Atheism and all the scientific theories that fall into that category and explain the existence of life.

'Darwinism' or 'Darwinian evolution' is something that some creationist invented to attack evolution. I'm not sure were you get your definition.

Why don't they just call it evolution? Maybe it is because evolutions is too difficult for them to understand.

At all.

His grandfather first came up with it.

Probably true, but Erasmus Darwin was still a "Darwin" ...

Didn't Darwin give up on his own theory later in life?

I hope you realize that evolution was not Darwin idea. Evolution had been around for a long time before Darwin, but no one knew how it worked. That is what Darwin discovered; evolution through natural selection.

^ I think he co founded that with Russel Wallace.

You're half-right. It's a chaotic selection.
