Elizabeth Hopes story had no corroboration. She never knew Darwin or had, to anyones knowledge, ever been to his home or hometown. Darwin was close friends with his local parish priest. If he was going to have a change of heart on the death bed he would have called for his friend not the widow of an evangelist preacher who was a stranger from many miles away. She has no credibility and no corroboration.

Moreover as I pointed out, Science is true even if the original discoverer decides he or she no longer finds the evidence convincing. Einstein could have shouted E=mc cubed all he wanted; it wouldn't have changed that it is E=mc squared.

It's of no consequence to me whether he did or didn't, that's just between him and his maker.

Did Darwin become a Christian on his deathbed?

Actually she was the evangelist not her husband, She married twice: to a 69 year old retired Admiral, and a 74 year old pork magnate, by this gaining a title and money.

Incidentally the suppose visit to Darwin was only 3 months after her first husband's death. She evidently didn't follow the mourning practice common to a person of her station in society of the time.
