Dennis...a sarcastic joke about our ailing economy....not an attempt to open

for the facts though! :) Too bad some of our politicians can't get their
facts as straight as you...ever consider running for office?

Calling this a fact is pretty questionable. Years after Darwin's death an
evangelical Anglican known as Lady Hope claimed to have visited him when
he was dying.

She claimed Darwin made remarks that called into question his theories and
that he seemed to have had a change of heart about religion. She did not
claim that he actually denounced his theories. Darwin's family denied any
of this ever happened.

Here are two Christian refutations of the Lady Hope Darwin deathbed story:
