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.
