If you checked out the link earlier about Darwin and his religious beliefs, you would know that during the beginning of his research he was not trying to disprove God nor did he hate him. Eventually he went from christian to agnostic. It is unfortunate you are having these misconceptions about Darwin.

I don't know that he was Christian originally, but he was more sympathetic to the faith before his daughter died. After that, he just rejected God. He was a sick, demented, bitter man. And Satan used him well. I have no respect for him or his legacy. All his mainstreaming of evolution brought is Death.

Done some reading about his "faith" and its clear from his personal letters to friends that he played a public relations game about his real opinion of God. In private he clearly rejected any concept of God, while in public he tried to play the part of a searcher for the truth. The point being he already made up his mind they was no God and made up the evidence to prove it.

Charles Darwin had a non-conformist background, but attended a Church of England school. With the aim of becoming a clergyman he went to the University of Cambridge for the required BA degree, which included studies ofAnglican theology. He took great interest in natural history and became filled with zeal for science as defined by John Herschel, based on the natural theology of William Paley which presented the argument from divine design in nature to explain adaptation as God acting through laws of nature. On the voyage of the Beagle he remained orthodox and looked for "centres of creation" to explain distribution, but towards the end of the voyage began to doubt that species were fixed. By this time he was critical of the Bible as history, and wondered why all religions should not be equally valid. Following his return in October 1836, he developed his novel ideas of geology while speculating about transmutation of species and thinking about religion.

Following Darwin's marriage to Emma Wedgwood in January 1839, they shared discussions about Christianity for several years. The theodicy of Paley and Thomas Malthus vindicated evils such as starvation as a result of a benevolent creator's laws which had an overall good effect. To Darwin, natural selection produced the good of adaptation but removed the need for design, and he could not see the work of an omnipotent deity in all the pain and suffering such as the ichneumon wasp paralysing caterpillars as live food for its eggs. Until 1844 he followed Paley in viewing organisms as perfectly adapted with only a few imperfections, and only partly modified that view by 1859. On the Origin of Species reflects theological views. Though he thought of religion as a tribal survival strategy, Darwin still believed that God was the ultimate lawgiver, and later recollected that at the time he was convinced of the existence of God as a First Cause and deserved to be called a theist. This view subsequently fluctuated, and he continued to explore conscientious doubts, without forming fixed opinions on certain religious matters.

Darwin continued to play a leading part in the parish work of the local church,but from around 1849 would go for a walk on Sundays while his family attended church. Though reticent about his religious views, in 1879 he responded that he had never been an atheist in the sense of denying the existence of a god, and that generally "an Agnostic would be the more correct description of my state of mind."

His book is satans bible.
Reminiscent of the garden "he doesn't want you to know the truth of who you really are"

Now,millions of youth are finding "truth" through satans bible in schoolrooms across the planet.

In Romans I paraphrase the following;

The evolution of the reprobate mind is Darwinism,to homosexuality to reprobate mind.
That is evolution.

This is in fact the last days platform.
Man is animal,conscience is abstract,man worship is unavoidable,killing is cleansing and for the common good,and the demise of their land,offspring and fellow man is hidden from their drunken foggy minds.

Uncanny that they have 2 words embedded in their gospel.
"HOMO...sapiens"
"EVOLUTION"

HOMOSEXUAL,AND THEIR OWN EVOLUTION INTO A LOWER ENTITY

yes he made a public show of having a open mind to God and even an appearance ...but in his private writings to other atheist, he made clear he did not have a real belief in God and expressed he made these outward expressions to deflect criticism from his so-called scientific ideas.
