Wikipedia, now there's an expert on disputed stories.

I linked to wikipedia because it gave a biography of Lady Hope, not just the Darwin story. I see no reason to doubt that the claims they made are true.

Basically, what we have is a claim by someone with both ego-based and pecuniary reasons for (ahem) exaggerating

Versus

The testimony of members of Darwin's family, whom I am quite sure were at his deathbed, some of whom would have liked it if their famous relative had had a deathbed conversion.

Are you aware of any sources for the Lady's story other than herself? Do you see that there might be a bit of self-promotion in her claim?

It's not a disputed story. It's been denied by everyone who actually knew Darwin and debunked by both sides of this debate.

Even "Answers in Genesis" admits that it isn't true, yet it gets trotted out with great regluarity by creationists on these threads who either don't know or don't care that it's a lie.
