Darwinism advocates the belief that natural selection of variations is the driving force ( though not exclusive) of evolutionary change. Charles Darwin revolutionized scientific thought in the 19th century.

Neo-Darwinism is an elaboration on Darwinism, a synthesis between modern genetics and classical Darwinism. Punctuated equilibrium is a model of Darwinism in which the rate of divergence is highly variable, as opposed to a gradualistic model of Darwinism. Panspermia is a model for the origin of life, specifically how life could have originated off-planet and then transported here. Intelligent Design is a religious view. So really, you're listing three entirely different things here (Evolution, Origin-of-Life, Religion).
