Years ago, I read a tract that claimed to be the story of Charles Darwin turning to God on his deathbed. Later, I read that this story was a myth and that it certainly did not occur. Since I have seen such gullibility in Christians before, I assumed that this was the final word. However, in an article by John Morris, it seems that the truth is just not known. The woman who told the story of Darwin's conversion (Lady Hope) was a real person who was a serious Christian and who was close friends with Darwin's wife. Although we cannot prove that Charles Darwin trusted in Christ as Saviour before he died, but we do know that he allowed a church to meet on his property and that he had his windows left open so when they met so he could hear the hymns being sung. We should never underestimate the power of the simple gospel of Jesus Christ.
