"But he repented on his death bed."
No, he really didn't. That's a creationist Myth started by a woman who called herself Lady Hope. Her claims about Darwin's *repentance* are at odds with Darwin's own children's accounts (his daughter was a devout Christian who would have been THRILLED if Darwin had converted). It makes absolutely no sense why he would tell this stranger his he converted and not tell his wife who worried every day about his soul. There is absolutely no evidence he ever changed his mind. The evidence is that he died content in the knowledge his theory was well supported.

in 1988, physicist George Greenstein wrote:
As we survey all the evidence, the thought insistently arises that some supernatural agencyor, rather, Agencymust be involved. Is it possible that suddenly, without intending to, we have stumbled upon scientific proof of the existence of a Supreme Being? Was it God who stepped in and so providentially crafted the cosmos for our benefit? (1988, p. 27).
In 1992, Arno Penzias (who fourteen years earlier had shared the 1978 Nobel Prize in physics with Robert W. Wilson for their discovery of the so-called background radiation left over from the Big Bang) declared:
Astronomy leads us to a unique event, a universe which was created out of nothing, one with the very delicate balance needed to provide exactly the conditions required to permit life, and one which has an underlying (one might say supernatural) plan [p. 83, parenthetical comment in orig.].
In his 1994 book, The Physics of Immortality, Frank Tipler (who co-authored with John D. Barrow the massive 1986 volume, The Anthropic Cosmological Principle) wrote:
When I began my career as a cosmologist some twenty years ago, I was a convinced atheist. I never in my wildest dreams imagined that one day I would be writing a book purporting to show that the central claims of Judeo-Christian theology are in fact true, that these claims are straightforward deductions of the laws of physics as we now understand them. I have been forced into these conclusions by the inexorable logic of my own special branch of physics (Preface).

If you consider the creationist beliefs of a small number of individual physicists to be evidence for creationism, then you must consider the much larger number of physicists who do not share the creationist believe to be strong evidence against creationism... correct?

"I wonder what kind of beaks the finches would evolve if they ate bacon and eggs with gravy biscuits for breakfast." I would imagine something resembling a fork and knife.

...the romance of fieldwork quickly fades. Which explains why so few become scientists.

But he repented on his death bed.I'm glad we got this lie out of the way early.
Now when the next person posts it, we'll know that it's not from ignorance.
