Do you recall from the various posts that several people told me or at least strongly implied that I was wrong when I stated that Darwin wrote in his famous book that he believed that God created mankind and life on this planet? It turns out that I was telling the truth and I proved it. Of course, I knew I was telling the truth since I had seen those same words last year. One of the posters told me about those words mentioned above and even I was shocked when I read what Darwin had actually written about his beliefs. It's obvious from his words, that he did not believe that mankind evolved from a single celled life form and he also believed that God created beautiful and wonderful plants and animals.
