No, I will never apologize for the truth. Darwin rejected his own theories of evolution before he died. If you choose not to believe this then so be it. I don't have to prove anything to you. The fact is I think you are out of school this week for Christmas vacation.

"No, I will never apologize for the truth. Darwin rejected his own theories of evolution before he died."

Where is your evidence of this? Do you know something his own daughter didn't know? She said the story is a lie, and she had a reason to wish it was true.

Provide evidence or admit you were wrong.

I have seen others make this assertion.

How do you know, for a fact, that this is true? Do you have a cite or link for this claim that I may explore for myself?

Yes, I know I could use Google, but then there's no way for me to know that the sites I've visiting contain the proof that so convinced you. See what I mean?

A claim for which you have no evidence, and a claim that other creationists admit is almost certainly false.

If you choose not to believe this then so be it. I don't have to prove anything to you.

In other words, you don't care that you're repeating a lie. You have been told that the story is a lie -- no, you've had it explained exactly why the story is a lie -- yet you repeat it. That makes you a liar. Clearly you have no shame.

The fact is I think you are out of school this week for Christmas vacation.

Actually, right now I'm at work. And I've got to go make a tech support call to someone in the building (I'm the local computer support for the Psychology department at a local university). But I'll come back to see how you've tried to defend repeating a known lie.

Simply not true. Who told you that?

It's not a question of "belief." It's a question of fact. There is no evidence to support your assertion, aside from the stories of the evangelist "Lady Hope." Those claims, first made 30 years after the fact, have never been supported and have been disavowed by Darwin's own children. That lack of any documentation, witness or supporting evidence whatsoever, plus the fact that "Lady Hope" was an evangelist who had certain motive to distort Darwin's views for her own agenda, have resulted in those stories being debunked by virtually every historian.

You may want to believe that it happened, but that belief doesn't mean that it did. History doesn't work that way any more than science does.
