Preposterous. There are many, many people of faith working in the sciences and engineering, including the biological sciences. One does not need to "believe" in evolution. Belief is for faith. One only needs to understand evoultionary theory, as one would understand plate tectonics or circuit theory.
It's unfair to construe Darwin's loss of faith as the sole result of his scientific work, when certainly the loss of a close family member may have shaken his faith as much as anything.
"when certainly the loss of a close family member may have shaken his faith as much as anything."
Darwin didn't know people would die?

Are you taking parsing lessons from CG? There was NOTHING in my post of Darwin quotes that mentioned EITHER of these ideas.
Now if you wish to do some research into his writings and come up with some data; then I'll consider your conjecture.
