Wrong, actually Darwin believed that God breathe life into the frist creatures in the evolutionary chain. Evolutionary theory is really only concerned with how life evolved after its origin. To this day no one can conclusively state, "here is how life began."

Darwin believe the explanation was "Divine Intervention" most of his life. He was explaining the "How" not the "Why."

His faith in God was unshaken during the development of his Natural Selection theories. It wasn't until he was 40 years old that he turn agnostic, however many believe he had a death bed conversion.

My faith in God is unshaken by Natural Selection theory too. There are too many holes in the Evolutionary Theory that need to plugged. Like, why did Man after hanging around the planet for 200,000 years suddenly develop a conscience and intelligence a mere 6,000 years ago?

GBA's comment is apt to my point.
I believe in God and I believe in evolution. I think evolution is the tool God used to create humans and all living things.

He actually lost his faith almost at the same time he formulated his theory in the late 1830's. He was an agnostic for most of his adult life.

"It wasn't until he was 40 years old that he turn agnostic, however many believe he had a death bed conversion."

The story of his *conversion* was a lie spun a woman named Lady Hope who claimed to have been at his deathbed. She never met him. So much for the honesty of creationists.

"Like, why did Man after hanging around the planet for 200,000 years suddenly develop a conscience and intelligence a mere 6,000 years ago?"

He didn't; it evolved over millions of years.
