365870 2005-06-23 10:24:00 how do we know that your not spreading propaganda about him not rejecting his theory now then? CyberGeek (8008)

You may wish you were right CyberGeek but you are not.
Metla is correct, believe it.

365872 2005-06-23 10:38:00 Because, Not being a creationist I don't replace facts with fantasy in order to reinforce the belief that life after death is better then life itself.

Anyhow, The "source" for this tall tale comes from one source,who wasn't at the deathbed,nor had any connection to Darwin, And all his family and collegues have stressed it never happened,and they figured Lady hope was a "P" head.

cut and pasted-

The report about Darwin's change of heart comes from one person, Lady Hope, an energetic Nineteenth Century Christian, while many members of Darwin's family denied it and there is nothing from Darwin's friends, colleagues, his own statements or writings to substantiate it. If Darwin did experience something so dramatic as a conversion to Jesus Christ and a complete revision of the theory of evolution that characterized his life and work, there isn't a shred of evidence of it outside of the claims of Lady Hope.

365873 2005-06-23 10:59:00 Nice quote Metla. I was scrabbling through some books looking for it... Not fast enough.
The Creation folk are very active everywhere trying to get onto school boards etc, and have had some success in the US. I understood from a friend that in ChCh they had a long campaign to get influence into the Teachers Colleges ...

Sorry to rain on Cicero's parade, but Lesbos is actually a Greek island.

As for the actual Goddess worshipped by the women reputed to live there - here's where my classical education blurs a bit. Tooo long ago...
Diana or Aphrodite, I think. Or maybe it was Artemis?

Anyway, eminently fanciable to be sure.

He was ill for the last part of his life and did have some doubts,but he didn't succumb.His wife and all his acquaintances were very religious,so in his weakened state he was subject to doubt.

365877 2005-06-23 23:01:00 In Greek mythology, "Lesbos" was also the name of the patron god of the island. Lesbos was son of Lapithes and he married Methymna. Metla (12)
