"I already explained to you what is meant by "hour of death." When one speaks of "the hour of death" he/she does not mean at precisely one hour before death. Oftentimes what is meant is the hours or days before certain death. What really controls with the expression "hour of death" is the certainty of death and not the hour preceeding it."

But by ALL ACCOUNTS Lady Hope's visit, if it happened, took place SIX MONTHS before Darwin died! Are you going to stretch *hours of death* to mean MONTHS? And WHERE did Lady Hope say she met Darwin on his deathbed? Certainly not in the link you provided. Darwin was not having heart trouble until December, and wasn't bedridden until April. Your *logic* is hilarious.

TheBrotherhood won't get it. He might be capable of getting it, but his arrogant creationist mindset refuses to concede. It's not that he really cares if Darwin recanted his theories. The problem is that he's made a claim, and now he has to defend that claim against all naysayers and against all facts and reality being against him because he, like so many creationists, does not dare admit a mistake. The problem is that if a creationist admits making a mistake, the creationist is acknowledging that he or she is capable of making mistakes. And if a creationist acknowledges that he or she is capable of making a mistake, it opens up the possibility that he or she might be wrong about other things as well.

Many creationists rest their entire worldview on them being infallable.
