Yes. Totally. Without any doubt.
Darwin conceived of an idea, an idea of which he himself had extremely grave doubts. Engels read Darwins book and wrote to Marx that in effect, Darwin's idea was just the ticket/facade needed to disguise their neopagan worldview system.
One of these days, maybe sooner rather than later, you're going to discover that the so-called 'science & reason' by which you've lived your life and assumed thereby that you occupied the 'moral high ground' was nothing but smoke and mirrors.

What Lindykim said.
It is possible that Darwin subjectively thought of himself as discovering scientific facts, and some of his observations, such as of the beaks of polynesian finches, reflect scientific method, but the venture into the origin of life was a venture outside of science into some kind of speculative secular pseudotheology.
Arguing with conspiracy types is like digging a hole to China, you can put your back into it all you want but it won't get you anywhere.
