Except that if anyone disagrees with you, you state that they are not "pertinent and relevant questions," and that they are trying to keep you from being "in focus and on target."

The Brotherhood still hasn't produced any source that actually says that Darwin was on his *deathbed* when he allegedly met *Lady* Hope. All accounts have the possible encounter happening in October, 1881, yet Darwin died in April, 1882. He didn't get sick until December, while traveling in London for the holidays (hardly *bedridden*). The attack passed quickly, and he wasn't bedridden until April.

But, because HE said it, it must be a fact. When he passes on someday, we can all make up stories about how we heard him recant creationism and how he renounced God to become an atheist. Anybody who ever met him could say this, and it would have the same credibility as the *Lady* Hope story would.
