Darwin and Faith: Darwin is only one scientist.  His experience and testimony does not circumscribe that of all other scientists who have benefited from better technology, experience and opportunity to see the miracle of God in creation; creation that follows an evolutionary process over seven stages, ending with a higher species in being called man.  His experience or testimony does not define the experiences of every other truly humble mind. The word of God gives us the precise detailed synopsis of creation. Science gives us the  minute details as they corroborate.  The bible does say that life came out of water.  See Genesis 1:20 or day five of creation. See the link below on where life originated.

In 1879 John Fordyce wrote asking if Darwin believed in God, and if theism and evolution were compatible. Darwin replied that a man "can be an ardent Theist and an evolutionist", citing Charles Kingsley and Asa Gray as examples, and for himself, "In my most extreme fluctuations I have never been an atheist in the sense of denying the existence of a God.— I think that generally (& more and more so as I grow older) but not always, that an agnostic would be the most correct description of my state of mind."^[85]

Those opposing religion often took Darwin as their inspiration and expected his support for their cause, a role he firmly refused. In 1880 there was a huge controversy when the atheist Charles Bradlaugh was elected as a member of parliament and then prevented from taking his seat in the House of Commons. In response, the secularist Edward Aveling toured the country leading protests.^[86] In October of that year Aveling wanted to dedicate his book onDarwin and his Works to Darwin and asked him for permission. Darwin declined, writing that "though I am a strong advocate for free thought on all subjects, yet it appears to me (whether rightly or wrongly) that direct arguments against Christianity & theism produce hardly any effect on the public; & freedom of thought is best promoted by the gradual illumination of men's minds, which follows from the advance of science. It has, therefore, been always my object to avoid writing on religion, & I have confined myself to science. I may, however, have been unduly biased by the pain which it would give some members of my family, if I aided in any way direct attacks on religion."^[87]

On the Origin of Species reflects theological views.^{[citation needed]} Though he thought of religion as a tribal survival strategy, Darwin still believed that God was the ultimate lawgiver,^[10][11] and later recollected that at the time he was convinced of the existence of God as a First Cause and deserved to be called a theist. This view subsequently fluctuated,^[12] and he continued to explore conscientious doubts, without forming fixed opinions on certain religious matters.^[7]

Darwin continued to play a leading part in the parish work of the local church,^[13] but from around 1849 would go for a walk on Sundays while his family attended church.^[14] Though reticent about his religious views, in 1879 he responded that he had never been an atheist in the sense of denying the existence of a god, and that generally "an Agnostic would be the more correct description of my state of mind."^[7]
