A:Charles Darwin's daughter Henrietta wrote in the Christianfor February 23, 1922, "I was present at his deathbed. . . He never recanted any of his scientific views, either then or earlier. We think the story of his conversion was fabricated in the U.S.A [Darwin was British]. . . . The whole story has no foundation whatever."

Did Darwin Repent?

If you're asking did Darwin have a "death bed" conversion, then the answer is no. The story originated from Lady Hope who claimed he had such a conversion. Darwin's daughter, who was present at Darwin's death, said that not only was Lady Hope not present, she didn't think that Darwin had ever met Lady Hope.

What did Charles Darwin say in his death bed?

According to Darwin's family his last words were: I am not the least afraid to die.Note that there are a number of urban legends claiming a deathbed religious conversion and/or denial of evolution. They trace back to an individual who spoke with Darwin more than half a year before he died. They claimed Darwin was reading the bible, but they never claimed Darwin converted or denied evolution. The story got distorted over the years. Darwin's wife and children were present at his death and they all firmly deny any conversion or recantation of evolution. Darwin's wife was religious and she would have been happy if he had converted. She clearly wouldn't have lied about it.
