I dont care about the bible and would like you to stop quoting it in responses to me.

That's not gonna happen, chief.

Not on a Christian website anyway.

Acts 5:29 Then Peter and the other apostles answered and said, We ought to obey God rather than men.

I quote Einstein and no one even blinks.

I quote Elizabeth Cotton (Lady Hope story about Darwin), and people strongly disagree, but that's it.

I quote the Bible, and people ask me not to.

Nobody has ever cared about my caption beside you.

Maybe it's because you haven't said I DON'T CARE to them as much as you have to me?

The Lady Hope story is well refuted.
As is the creationist claim that Darwin was an atheist.
And its related fantasy that Darwin converted to christianity in his deathbed, and denounced all of his work in biology.

I disagree.
I know.
You reject any fact that does not support your belief system.
And yet all the people who were at the Darwin residence in the weeks leading up to Charles Darwin's death, agree that no "Lady Hope" ever once entered the house.

You mean they didn't see anyone enter the house?

Were they there 24/7?

Then you only demonstrate a very high level of gullibility when a claim goes along with your beliefs.

Almost the exact same thing happened with my dad, as with the Lady Hope story.

And although my sister disagreed that my dad got saved before he died, I know better.

That does not help you. Perhaps it is true for you dad. You knew him well. Lady Hope did not know Darwin as well as his children did. When they all says that it was a lie when she tried to besmirch the man they children are far more reliable than she was.

Refuted? or denied?

Depends on which side of the story you're on, doesn't it?

Refuted. Multiple eyewitnesses who knew their father and actually loved him.

And no, reality should never matter which side one is on. Why do you think that reality is your enemy?

Unless his children had a reputation to maintain.

Darwin was famous, and I can envision they not wanting his name to be associated with a literal creationism.

LOL

How do you have eyewitnesses that no one talked to your dad?

Unless you were there 24/7.

Please. Now you are trying to claim that dying turns a person into a fool. He lived to see his theory confirmed. Evolution is true whether Darwin exists or not. Hmm, the Ninth Commandment makes it a serious sin to lie about those that are living. Is it a serious sin to lie about those that are dead? Your fellow Christians must not think that it is.

They knew their father. They would have been aware of his disease and what it did to him. Why do you think that his disease turned him into a fool?
