He recanted his theory on his deathbed, begging the forgiveness of God. (citation needed)

While often revered (some might say worshipped) by evolutionists as "the father of modern biology," Darwin himself was aware that his work was not scientific. In a letter to Asa Gray, Harvard biology professor, he wrote "I am quite conscious that my speculations run quite beyond the bounds of true science."[http://www.thetruthseeker.co.uk/article.asp?ID=104] There are rumors that he recanted his theory on his deathbed, begging the forgiveness of God, but this story is unproven.
