I'm amazed that nobody has yet mentioned that before his death, Darwin admitted that his theory was wrong!

This is an unfortunately persistent myth. But it doesn't matter anyway. Scientific validity doesn't hinge on the belief of anyone - no, not even the theory's originator.
And as Gadren pointed out, Galileo did the same. Doesn't make the solar system geocentric.
That's bullshit, but if he had, it would make no difference. We accept the ToE because it is supported by an overwhelming amount of evidence, not because Darwin said it was true.
Seriously, how does shit like this survive? I mean, even most fundie fucktards know this is incorrect. It's even debunked on Answers in Genesis, of all places.
Rapture Ready is where the REALLY fucked up morons go to party. Imagine, being so fucking stupid that FUNDIES know you're fucking stupid ...
As if that little lie can put the Evolution genie back in its bottle.
IIRC, TH Huxley did more to advance the theory than Darwin ever wanted to.
Darwins daughter, Henrietta, was with him when he died. She said that this was not true.
She tried to find out who said that but nobody
would admit to it.
Also, Darwin died in England and that lie got started in the U.S.
I'm amazed that nobody has yet mentioned that before his death Napoleon played three seasons with Marseilles football club and helped them to win the Champions League twice.
Possibly for the same reasons.
So what? It doesn't matter.
Science is not built on personal reputation but on data. We have the data, so we don't care who said what when.
No, no he didn't. That's bullshit made up by creationists.
And even if he did, it doesn't change anything as there is an overwhelming amount of evidence supporting evolution. Science is not a popularity contest, hypotheses are accepted or rejected based on the evidence.
Well, being Rapture Ready I can see his point.
That's usually brought up in church social recipes threads over there eventually. Y'know; "putting little chuncks of pineapple in the egg salad is as wrong as Darwins theory, even he admitted that!"
I'm amazed that no fundie has mentioned that this is nothing more than a lie !
...but then, fundies are always Lying For Jebus.
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
