Even if Charles Darwin did recant on his deathbed, who cares,
the Theory of Evolution isn't dependent on Charles Darwin believing it.

He didn't recant on his deathbed. That was a story that was made up by a Christian evangelist called "Lady Hope" who claimed to be there at his bedside. Darwin's family stated that he had never met any such person, and she was most definitely NOT present at his deathbed.

Their entire concept of reality is based soley on the words that come out of a persons mouth. They don't care about verifiable facts and evidence. They think that someone else having spiritual experiences outside of their religion is a lie from the devil because they're told their god is the only god, and all the proof they need is an idiot telling them it says so in the bible. They don't live in truth, but in belief.

True, but Darwin never recanted... that was a lie started by Christians who felt threatened by his views.

I care because he did not believe what he wrote about! The fossil record does not show the millions of missing links that there should be for this theory. It does show that in the Cambrian period there was an explosion of life here on earth.

Misinformation is the lifeblood of many beliefs. I find this to be a terrible fraud. First we must uncloud the eyes of falsehoods, half-truths, bad science, and other misinformation. Then we must share true science and fact.

There are many people who are purposefully blind and intentionally ignorant..leave them to their folly. Religion, in general, calls for a suspension of dis-belief, period. IT requires a total ignorance of reality. Do you really think that a simple posting here will change anything? Neither do I , so why waste your time. ????

I really don't. I don't really care what a live scientist believes either. Science will never prove anything spiritual.
Science is out of its element with the metaphysical.

Atheists don't focus on figureheads to guide them. Unlike most religions.
