What Darwin Said About God
Michael Bargo is making Darwin look better in his faith than he really was. A good response to this idea by a Darwin historian is found at http://www.evolutionnews.org/2010/09/mohler_giberson_and_the_genesi0377…. Flannery is setting the facts straight in a controversy between Al Mohler and Karl Gilberson.
Darwin’s thinking was shaped not only by the theory of evolution but also “free-thinking” before he ever boarded the Beagle. He likewise suggested that life began in a warm pond somewhere in earth’s early history. He also wrote openly that he had left his faith as a logical consequence of what he had learned.

Jerry Bergman’s well-documented The Dark Side of Darwin presents the opposite view of Darwin’s faith from that in Michael Bargo’s article.
