Read those posts relevant to one small part of the discussion: that part of the thread relating to conservative blond's premise that Darwin recanted on his deathbed. It goes something like this:
CB: "He recanted it on his deathbed!"
not-CB: "Wrong. This has been debunked here before"
CB: "Has not. I know he recanted!"
not-CB: "Here's the evidence of a biographer that studied him extensively, which shows that not to be true"
CB: "He's wrong, I know he recanted"
not-CB: "Here is another source, which states that his family said he did no such thing"
CB: "Yes he did, I know it."
not-CB: "Do you have any evidence that he did so, beyond the bebunked source you presented??"
CB: "I just know. I have always known"
[etc,etc,etc]
not-CB: "You have been proven wrong, yet you persist in saying this. Provide evidence, or apologize"
CB: "I'll never apologize - I know he did....."
That's what I'm talkin' about, when I say frustration.
It cuts both ways. Trust me.
Well done on your post #2300...if anyone wants to believe the lie about Darwins recant, in spite of the evidence to the contrary, in site of biographical research to the contrary, and more importantly, in spite of the fact the Darwins own family denies that there was a recant,(even tho to claim such would have been to their advantage), then so be it...they chose to believe a lie, and are content to do so...
But when someone deliberately spreads that 'fairy tale' around, thats says much about the one doing the spreading...
