Darwin being an agnostic was far from the Christian observer that this article portrays him as.

Sorry, I didn't address this in my previous post..
( Got all caught up in the "agnosticism" thing..)

Having read my previous post however, and now knowing my belief in God as an agnostic, does this change your mind about Darwin?

From what I have read of the man over the years, he was extremely upset over the religious controversy his theory created..
He was a religious man, and believed in God as much as most people of his time...
Is his Christian belief any the less because he belonged to the Church of England?
Would you think less of him if he were Catholic? Lutheran ? Jewish ?

Do we then exclude all scientific knowledge that is not the result of christian endeavor?
Do away with algebra? geometry? gunpowder?
Do we discount the mathematical acheivements of Hindus ?

I would just like to know where you draw the line of what knowledge is acceptable and what is not..
