Was Darwin practicing Religion?

Answer 1

Yes, i think by the strictest definition of religion he did. In fact there has always been a legend that he told his closest associates he was wrong abou evolution at the time of his death. There was at one time a book in circulation that Darwin wrote that critiqued that theory of evolution, and showed how flawed it was, whether it was a forgery or not we will never know, it was banned by the government and if worth a great deal of money if you still have a copy today. But once again, the book and conversion is merely a legend, which make my post both interesting and useless, lol.
Thanks,
