Amazing. *Sigh* Honestly, where do people come up with this stuff? Darwin did not recant anything he did on his death bed.... This is just a new version of an old story.
Guess what? Your school books claim Columbus found America... when in fact, he never saw it... he landed in Cuba (Columbus' own records show this) as well as showing that he was a Slave Trader... not a merchant in spices, nor an "explorer" of new areas. He wanted a new, shorter trade route for his own families trade in Slaves... one that would be more profitable to his family.... his own writings show this... yet School Books claim otherwise.
I do not email things which have absolutely NO evidence. Anyone can take a pick (btw, I worked in art for several yrs... I'm pretty good at being able to tell whether or not something was done recently or not... and if it was doctored on a computer... and I can honestly say, the pic you have shown here... isn't worth what you claim it to be)
And, um, no one worships Darwin. Just because you don't like the science behind his writings or the fact that people read up on him doesn't mean they worship him. These tactics are childish.....

I don't want to be redundent in answering with what people have already, so I wont mention about your use of worship...oops.
Also, it does not bother me because Darwin did not make-up the theory of evolution, he just contributed to it. The idea has been longer than you, obviously, know. (try researching a bit before posting such ridiculous things)
"The first systematic presentation of evolution was put forth by the French scientist Jean Baptiste de Lamarck (1774-1829) in 1809" http://bioweb.cs.earlham.edu/9-12/evolution/HTML/theory.html
"The theory of evolution is not as innovative as was once thought; in fact, the major observations embodied within the theory of evolution has been a common theme in ancient creation myths from around the world. Darwin himself states: "The formation of different languages and of distinct species, and the proofs that both have been developed through a gradual process, are curiously the same" (Dennet, 135)." http://serendip.brynmawr.edu/sci_cult/evolit/s04/web2/ahussein.html

Yes!! I wish that people would recognize this fact! Darwin did say on his deathbed that his theory now known as evolution is completely false. Yet even though the "creator" himself of his theory (which logically doesn't make any sense) said that is was all a lie and not true!! Yet it is still taken as fact. Some say that is was a false statement that he did not recant. So I guess my thought would be instead of just taking someones word for it...why not study for yourself?
With an open mind take books on evolution and take the Bible and study the two. I know that it may be harder since evolution is taught as fact and the only fact in school, but if evolution is called a "theory", then it can't be fact. So there must be something that is fact! I just encourage everyone to find that fact for themselves.

Nothing in science is ever fully proven or disproven by one sketch or experiment. Theories are only strengthened and supported by continuing experiments and new data. Darwin only presented the theory, numerous scientific studies have been done regarding evolution, and it is still widely accepted in the scientific community. So, even if Darwin didn't believe his own theories, it doesn't necessarily make the theory wrong.

Funny, but not everyone will bother to click the link considering the last five million times someone posted something like this, they were serious and there was a link to answeringgenesis.org or some other site like that.

Being a Christian, I do need to say that it is true there there is no factual evidence historically speaking that Darwin recanted his perspective.
A "Lady Hope" had received a "concern of his youthful views" from his death bed, but never a recanting or obtaining of the Christian faith.
Charles Darwin was considered a backslider, and lost hope and heart, previously being a believer himself. He was a very influencial person, and many people who desire freedom, individuality and have been hurt by people in and out of the church, will cite this one man's invention of evolution, (which in itself is completely unfactual - that's why it's the THEORY of evolution).

I doubt you're being serious about this, but maybe he did, most likely he did not and it doesn't really matter either way. The truth or falsity of the Fairy Tale of Evolution doesn't rest on the beliefs of Darwin or anyone else, but on whether it corresponds to reality.
And I didn't have to click on it because I have Firefox with the "text to link" extension. =OP

No, he didn't. That was a lie that was told by a woman known as "Lady Hope". She was a Christian evangelical who lived at the time. She claimed that he recanted to her on her deathbed.
"The lies were exposed for what they were, first by his daughter Henrietta after they had been revived in 1922. ‘I was present at his deathbed,’ she wrote in the Christian for February 23, 1922. ‘Lady Hope was not present during his last illness, or any illness. I believe he never even saw her, but in any case she had no influence over him in any department of thought or belief. He never recanted any of his scientific views, either then or earlier. We think the story of his conversion was fabricated in the U.S.A. The whole story has no foundation whatever.’”

Tell me, why do Christians feel that they need to lie to further their cause? They do it all the time, and are so well-known for it that nobody believes anything they say anymore. Don't they feel that their beliefs can stand on their own merits?
Evolution is fact. Even huge numbers of Christians understand that "Creationism" is out-of-touch with truth and Reality. As just one example, here’s more than 10,600 U.S. Clergy agreeing with Darwin's Theory of Evolution ( ToE ):
From The CLERGY OPEN LETTER:
“To reject this truth (ToE) or to treat it as “one theory among others” is to deliberately embrace scientific ignorance and transmit such ignorance to our children.”

What school do you go to? A christian school that feels it has to prove Darwin wrong? He and his theories have been proven correct far more often than anything 'proven' about Christian beliefs. believe what you choose and don't worry about spreading the word.

Internet filter at work won't let me go to photobucket. What are the sketches?
I want in on the joke!
Edit: No, you're not serious. And I'm totally taking that second pic as my next avatar. I'd say it offsets my Jesus Riding a Brontosaur one nicely, wouldn't you?
