这个谣言的始作俑者是一位叫赫普（Ｈｏｐｅ）的美国修女.达尔文死后不久,她在麻省的一次布道中声称,在达尔文临终前,她访问了他,达尔文向她做了忏悔,后悔自己创建了进化论.教会组织对赫普的谣言如获至宝,迅速传播开来.在一九二二年,达尔文的女儿亨里雅塔（Ｈｅｎｒｉｅｔｔａ）为此发表了声明： “在我的父亲临终前,我守在他的身旁.在他重病不治时,或在他得其他病时,赫普修女都不在.我相信我的父亲从未见过她,她对我的父亲的思想、信仰没有任何的影响.他对他的任何科学观点,不论是当时的还是早些时候的,从未反悔过.我们认为有关他忏悔的故事是在美国编造出来的.整个故事纯属无稽之谈.”(I was present at his deathbed, Lady Hope was not present during his last illness, or any illness. I believe he never even saw her, but in any case she had no influence over him in any department of thought or belief. He never recanted any of his scientific views, either then or earlier. We think the story of his conversion was fabricated in the U.S.A. ... ...The whole story has no foundation whatever." 此段原文可在wiki查到) 查看原帖>>
