You don’t believe Elizabeth Hope’s story, among others? I know his son stood by the claim that Darwin was an agnostic to the end.

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.
