What a fucking moron.
Because he was one of the greatest scientists of all time. on a par
with Newton and Einstein.
Duh.
Plenty of scientists are theist, like Ken Miller who demolished
irreducible complexity at the Dover ID trial.
But like other scientists who are theist, he doesn't let his beliefs
interfere with or influence his science.

What a fucking moron. A liar as well as an idiot.
He started off as a non-fundamentalist Christian, who accepted the
then current scientific explanations (which weren't particularly
scientific in many cases, certainly not for evolution which had been
known for many decades).
He studied for the ministry because he thought the job of a country
parson would give him the time to pursue his real interests in nature
and geology.
But instead, he went on his voyage of discovery, and what he found led
to his losing his faith.
Natural selection was a "Eureka" moment - obvious in retrospect but
somebody had to be the first to realise it.
But one result was to set him down the road to agnosticism because he
couldn't reconcile the eat-or-be-eaten struggle for survival, with the
loving god he had previously believed directed evolution using
Lamarckian heredity.
He didn't publish his rigorously researched theory of evolution until
many years later, because he didn't want to upset the religious,

Yep.
These morons have no idea what science is, how its practiced or the
scientific method.
Darwin's other great contribution to science was to the scientific
method itself - the validation or refutation of prediction to extend
knowledge.
The stupids don't seem to understand this, and lie about this being
guesses, faith, etc.
