"Darwin admitted in the end he was wrong."

The story that Darwin recanted is a myth

You can't expect Crationists and Rebranded Creationists to reach a conclusion from examining the evidene. They can only ape what they heard

It's not a "myth," it's a lie.

It's a lie started thirty years after Darwin's death by a creationist looking to advance a political agenda. It continues to be spread by creationists, partly through ignorance.

It has no basis at all, and has been rejected by Darwin's children, historians and even by creationist groups.

Let's be honest. It's an outright lie, and anyone who spreads it has either been hoodwinked by liars or is a liar himself. I'm presuming that he is the former, but now he knows better.

Yes, he did admit it in his deathbed while surrounded by his family and his closest evolutionist friends. Many of his followers later admitted that Darwin and themselves were wrong about evolution.
