@ivlfounder actually, i do think most religions are incompatible with religion, atleast christianity for example because it has a geneology of jesus from adam and eve, if evolution is true then the bible says that jesus came from a fable, either jesus is not real (most christians would not like that) or the bible is wrong or the main part of the bible is not literal however the beleif in god, is not incompatible with evolution
For some reason many atheists consider belief in evolution and belief in God to be in conflict.
What's more many also look down at or even hate those who believe in God.
Were it ever proven that Darwin believed in God these hate filled atheists would have to decide between attacking Darwin's ideas or letting go of their hate.
ivlfounder, more often than not it appears that is the christians(specifically in America), not the atheists, who consider belief in god and belief in evolution in conflict. It's ironic that this mistrust and misunderstanding doesn't extend to believing that the heliocentric theory and god are in conflict, or something like that.
Considering the vast majority of Americans would never vote for an atheist in office, I'd say that the "hate filled ones" are not the faithless
Even if that is true today most clergymen think religion and evolution are compatible where as atheists believe evolution and belief in God to be in conflict.
I understand your question was rhetorical. Darwin's theory would be just as worthy no matter his position on these matters. I just thought it a good opportunity to rant. Thanks. :)

Like it or not science has proven we do all share a common ancestor.
It's even more interesting though that the oldest Gospel makes no mention of genealogy.

Neither Stalin's private statements about religion nor his murderess campaigns against religion support your claim.
I am interested to know where you came across the likely lie that he prayed as an adult.

Where ever Martin Luther King went I suspect is a far better place than where ever Stalin went.

Dawkins' disagrees with your first claim.
And that you look down on Christians is obvious.

No. This idea was first proposed by clergy men.

Not much. Well, if Darwin was a Christian then evolution would be falsified. But other than that...

But the principles of Evolution are indepedant of any faith therefore ones faith would have no influence on the evidence that supports evolution.
If someone discovered the sky was blue, then joined a faith that rejected the colour blue, that would not make the sky any less blue.
