Darwin was a devout Christian, not a devout atheist.

LOL. Please supply evidence for this fancy.

It is arguable that he was a "devout" christian, but he was a christian--in school, he studied to take the cloth, and his early writings do contain a few dispeptic scrapes of Anglican theological ponderings.

Actually, he was a plagiarist per the author of "Krakatoa". A man named Wallace came up with "survival of the fittest" and his contemporary, Charles Darwin, was happy to claim that he came up with it. In that sense, Darwin was not so "devout". Theft is theft and Christ would not approve.
