>Are you still repeating the well-debunked lie that Darwin repented on his deathbed?

Not on this thread yet, until someone mentions the fact that Darwin recanted and asked God for forgiveness in his last hours. Until then, my lips are sealed on this historical fact.

So in spite of the fact that Darwin's daughter publically wrote that Darwin did not in fact recant on his deathbed, you will continue to peddle the lie that he did and that his children testified as much when asked, right? You will openly lie when asked.

Thanks for admitting that you're a liar.

You are misinformed about the 'deathbed conversion." From the Westmisnter Abbey website:

It would have been unfortunate if anything had occurred to give weight and currency to the foolish notion which some have diligently propagated, but for which Mr Darwin was not responsible, that there is a necessary conflict between a knowledge of Nature and a belief in God…”. A later, widely believed, rumour of a “deathbed conversion” to Christianity was denied by his daughter, who was actually present at his death. A bronze memorial, with a life-sized relief bust, was erected by his family in the north choir aisle, near to the grave, in 1888. The sculptor was Sir J.E. Boehm. The inscription just says simply “DARWIN”.
