"It's your choice to want to read it or not. But don't expect others to want to read your "same old crap."

Why would Darwin tell this women he converted and NOT tell his wife? Why would his letters to others after this alleged encounter NOT say that he recanted evolution? YOUR OWN LINK (which I have read now; I'd actually seen it a while back and reread it just now) says the matter is unsettled, and their ONLY reasons for thinking it could be true are their wished it happened.

Darwin never recanted. To say he did is to lie.

Because he was fearful of the repercussions amongst his close communist/atheist friends.

His recant was between him and Him with Lady Hope being the conduit to Him. Hence the no need to disseminate.
