You said before the recantation was during the hours before his death. You are digging yourself even deeper into a hole of your own making.Liars need good memories.

Dimensio calls everyone a liar, and the only response that ever makes him stop, is to post snippets of current scientists manufacturing data to further their lackluster careers.

From your tag line: "...Creationism is a cancer on conservatism."
Why do you say that creationism is a cancer on conservatism when the bulk of conservatism is made up of creationists?
To: CarolinaGuitarman
What really happened is that Lady Hope seduced Darwin, and afterwords he exclaimed: "Oh, how I regret what I have done!" But she was so demented that she misunderstood.

//quivering puppy//Thatchy thats a good one heh heh.
You guys certainly have some bizarre definitions of things, for one what constitutes a liar.
Lady Hope could have visited Darwin and not have been remembered by his family for the time or times she was there. So TheBrotherhood raising this possibility does not make him a liar no matter how many some of the nutballs on your side scream it out, and no matter how many atheist evo web sites they link up too.
Also Darwin could well have made his recantation to Lady hope and only to Lady Hope.
No one here was there then, and in fact his family may not have been present for all interactions Darwin himself made.

CarolinaGuitarman is on these crevo threads daily and I don't think he's a troll.

"CarolinaGuitarman is on these crevo threads daily and I don't think he's a troll."
Nice evasion.
Now, back to the issue at hand: Why did you before say that the alleged recantation happened in the hours of Darwin's death and now you say it wasn't then?

Why do you say that creationism is a cancer on conservatism when the bulk of conservatism is made up of creationists? Is this another "historical fact?" The only poll ever attempted on FR showed otherwise. It also showed the only two respondents engaging in massive cheating were creationists.
Anyway, from my home page... Here's something I posted online here on a thread where creationists were squealing at being the target of a crowd of liberal glitterati one enchanted evening at a fund-raiser for the American Museum of Natural History:
I've been telling you creationists not to give the Tom Brokaws of the world a chance to save science and science education from you. Going after science and science education was a bad idea. Here's the theory. Don't do a bad thing. If you don't, then the Bad Guys don't get to play Good Guy while stopping you. They don't get to tar all of conservatism with the brush of being composed of antiscience witch doctors.
This is becoming the national issue I've wanted to somehow prevent. You're going to kill us in 06 or 08 or both.
Look at you on this thread, lying your butt off for all to see. I don't want anyone confusing you with me.

He didn't raise it as a possibility, he raised it as a historical fact. That would mean he had evidence that it did happen, not that there's a time window in which it could have.
Roosevelt could have secretly visited Hitler during the War. You can't prove it's not true. That doesn't make it a historical fact.

You have to wonder how they think this blatant display advances what they claim to favor.
Out for a bit.

Exactly, RunningWolf.
It's a known fact that Lady Hope visited Darwin several times during a 4-5 day stretch. Darwin could have made his recantation at any hour during those days w/o a member of his family present. Moreover, a recantation and conversion is usually made to another person of the Faith and at a moment when only the two were alone. I've also theorized that it is not unusual for a man who is about to die to repent and to do so at a moment of deep spiritual awakening. It is often at this hour that men often repent and are gifted with that which is unseen.
To: CarolinaGuitarman
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.
I thought I had made this clear before.

Funny how this troll was dormant until the last one was banned. Almost like they have an entire set of identities to use up and throw away.

Roosevelt nor Hitler ever documented any of that, Lady Hope says this meeting happened.
That comparison is different by orders of magnitude. It is one of the many false comparison made. Frankly I would more expect this from the (one-liner hit job) posters you have rather than someone like you. We all know who they are, farm that sort of crap out to them.
A much more apt comparison would be if you have ever visited someone very sick or the home of someone just died. There might be only a few people at the house when you visit, maybe even just a family friend or house keeper, the family might be so much in shock and pre-occupied they might not remember that you were there later.

Really big account of the Lady Hope story in Wikipedia:
Elizabeth Hope.

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.

I must confess, it is one of the strangest posting histories I've ever seen on FR.... large gaps in the history, several times.
