    The Darwin deathbed recantation of evolution is a notorious fraud -- it didn't happen. Most of the creationist bleatiings are not lies -- they actually believe their nonsense. Evolution has been established science for a hundred years, meaning that workers in the field routinely use it to make correct predictions. It is now also a proven fact.

    I don't know anything a "deathbed recantation" but I do know that Charles Darwin had a vivid imagination and that the theory of macro-evolution is a farce. There is no evidence that the DNA structure of a fish can have vast amounts of useful information added to it by random mutations transforming over time into an amphibian and then the process continuing to a mammal and then a human being.

    Mutations are almost always harmful and when they are beneficial they only change information that is already present in a DNA strand. Natural selection mitigates against macro-evolution because an animal that had limbs or organs that "almost worked" for a million years would be carrying around structures in their anatomy that served no purpose but took up weight and nutrition.

    Micro-evolution can be demonstrated and given credence but macro-evolution is a huge house of cards that deserves to be sent to the scrap heap of discarded scientific theories.

    If you want to examine the many problems with macro-evolution then check out The Evolution Cruncher @ http://godrules.net/evolutioncruncher/CruncherTOC....

    Here's the table of contents.

    1 - History of Evolutionary Theory — How modern science got into this problem.

    2 - The Big Bang and Stellar Evolution — Why the Big Bang is a fizzle and stars cannot evolve out of gas.

    3 - The Origin of the Earth — Why the Earth did not evolve out of a molten state.

    4 - The Age of the Earth — Why the Earth is not millions of years old.

    5 - The Problem of Time — Why long ages cannot produce evolutionary change.

    6 - Inaccurate Dating Methods — Why the non-historical dating techniques are unreliable.

    7 - The Primitive Environment — Why raw materials on earth cannot produce life.

    8 - DNA and Protein — Why DNA and protein could not be produced by random chance.

    9 - Natural Selection — Why natural selection only makes changes within species.

    10 - Mutations — Why mutations cannot produce cross-species change.

    11 - Animal and Plant Species — Why the species barrier cannot be broken.

    12 - Fossils and Strata — Why the fossil/strata theory is a hoax.

    13 - Ancient Man — Why there is no evidence humans have evolved from anything.

    14 - Effects of the Flood — What actually happened after the Flood.

    15 - Similarities and Divergence — Why similar structures are not an evidence of evolution.

    I am a Christian, but seriously, we need to do some research before we spew out what we think is truth. Even a Christian website will tell you this is not true. I can understand why Athiests hold us in low regards, especially when we say junk like that.

    Darwin recanted on his deathbed.

    Many people use this story; however, it is almost certainly not true, and there is no corroboration from those who were closest to him—even from Darwin’s wife Emma, who never liked evolutionary ideas. Also, even if it were true, so what? If Ken Ham renounced the Bible, would that disprove it?

    It is completely inconsequential whether or not Darwin recanted from his views of Natural Selection from his writing, 'The Origin of the Species'.

    Evolution is & has been shown to be so utterly shot through with holes that whatever Darwin believed or didn't believe holds no consequences for the bigger issues.

    One thing is sure though...Darwin's got the it 'straight' now, albeit too late for his betterment.

    "And just as it is appointed for man to die once, and after that comes judgment..." Hebrews 9:27

    LOL...

    Darwin would not have had to convert to Christianity since he was already a Protestant Minister anyway. That was even before he wrote Origin of the Species.

    A bedside conversion is unnecessary for those who already know Jesus Christ...

    NEXT...

    Darwin's deathbed recantation of evolution holds about enough weight as his theory.

    Darwin was a Christian to begin with. SO saying he "became one" is impossible considering that he was one. And as for him taking back evolution... PLEASE, that holds about as much weight as the hypothesis of god.

    Lying is okay if you are doing it for the Bible god and his holy Jesus.

    lies, like mass-murder, are okay when they're for the cause.
