You should read Darwin's recently released personal notebooks. Darwin abandoned his Christian faith long before the publication of Origins, and was already going on walks while his family attended church by 1849.

I didn't know that...and I will assume you are correct.

But if memory serves...he never expected nor wanted his observations to become some sort of anti-God movement.

FWIW-

"You should read Darwin's recently released personal notebooks"

Did you purchased and or read the books or the work done by Gordon Chancellor? Of so, please excerpt the part about abandoning God or reference where it is. I haven't purchased the notebooks yet. The $120 price tag on Amazon is a little too rich for my blood.

That sounds like George Washington.
