Sounds like somebody might be a bit jealous, and none of the girls I post pics of are little. And the main reason I hang out on the message board, as you put it, is to help people. Exactly why are you here ?

[peteroy01]

...did he really?


There is a story that Charles Darwin (1809-1882), English naturalist and developer of the theories of evolution through natural and sexual selection, recanted his life's work and agnosticism and accepted Christianity on his deathbed. It has been circulating through evangelical publications and broadcasts for many years. The story originated with Lady Hope (a.k.a. Elizabeth Reid Cotton, widow of Admiral of the Fleet Sir James Hope), an evangelist in Darwin's neighborhood of Downe, England. She said in a 1915 speech to a Moody evangelical school in East Northfield, Ma., that on his deathbed Darwin had been reading the Epistle to the Hebrews. Supposedly, he wished for singing and worship at his home, regretted that his evolutionary "speculations" were taken so seriously and had caused such evil, and that he accepted the Christian scheme of "salvation." The story was printed in the Boston Watchman Examiner and has been in circulation ever since.

The evidence shows that the story is not true. Lady Hope was not present at the deathbed of Darwin. The multiple independent accounts of his death, written by those who were there, make no mention of it. His children who were there at his death wrote articles and letters that specifically refuted the recantation and conversion story. Lady Hope did show such detailed knowledge of Darwin's home and estate that she must have visited Darwin at some time late in his life, though not at his deathbed. Darwin himself was disturbed with the misuses "Social Darwinism" made of his theories. He thought that Christianity was good for common people, though not for himself and other educated men. Darwin was revising his theories in the latter part of his life, to take new information into account, though he did not doubt that evolution had occurred, only how it had happened. Lady Hope probably heard all of this in a visit to Darwin late in his life, and conflated it imaginatively into a deathbed recantation!

rather this is true or not does not change the fact that it IS junk science. Read "the case for a creator" by Lee Strobel. Lee is a lawyer who set out to prove to his parents there was NO God. When he was done with his research he realized there must be a Creator. The book blew my mind and pissed me off that I had been fed such a bunch of shart throughout school. The book has nothing to do with any particular religion. Just evidence of a creator.

i havnt read that book and im not going to, just like u havnt read the works of darwin, i can quote and quote and u can counter quote and counter quote the fact of the matter is some choose to believe because they want to believe and others choose to disbelieve because they want to disbelieve, the definitive answer to the creator question wont be aswered on a steroid forum such as this and the opinions of u and i wont be taken into account, so go ahead and trash every scientific journal as junk science it wont make any difference but if it helps you confirm your belief then u should do it some more... really its ok

One question, if evolution isnt a solid theory. How come 99.999% of all biologist that acctualy do develop and use the theory think its correct.

[tadpoleboyy]

there is overwhelming proven scientific evidence to support the theory of evolution. Religion has nil. If you are familiar with science, you would know that any experiment is conducted not to prove that something is right, but to prove that something isnt. Is there a creator? maybe, but most people use the term God, creator, or whatever in place of a lack of evidence of what really happened. We may never know the truth, but to say god created us all is just as correct as saying that he didnt and doesnt exist, as there is no solid evidence that dates that far back. But from the information that we do have, it seems logical that evolution is a pretty solid theory.

science is based on theories, and nothing is ever really 100% proven, that is why experiments are continuously conducted. That is also why species names are always changing, as we find out new taxonic data and genetic sequencing trends. If anything in science was ever proven correct, no one would ever research it again and the specific field would stagnate. And that is the complete opposite of what the scientific method is about. If you dont believe in science and scientific methods, and would rather speculate on things without evidence, then you should cut all medicine (antibiotics, roids, medical care, etc) out of your life, because that is all based and built up from science. If you don't, you are a hypocrite.

the evolution theory still cannot describe where the original matter came from in the first place......thus, the evolutionary theory still cannot disprove God. SO imo, a religious person, who believes that God caused the spark that lead to evolution, is still very valid...

I am agnostic by the way
