"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.

You sound glad he never repented. Why?

The Lady Hope Story: A Widespread Falsehood. Sorry, Darwin made no deathbed recantation. (But Galileo actually did recant, so the earth doesn't move and the solar system doesn't exist.)

My understanding (read it here) is that Charles Darwin was a Christian.
