Dear Sir,
I am sorry to have to
inform you that I do
not believe in the Bible
as a divine revelation
& therefore not in Jesus
Christ as the son of God.
Yours faithfully
Ch. Darwin
Smithsonian.com - A Letter About Darwin’s Belief in God Just Sold for Nearly $200,000 Just 41 words long, it provides a missing link for historians who have long wondered what the naturalist thought about religion
"Darwin was the first to use data from nature to convince people that evolution is true, and his idea of natural selection was truly novel. It testifies to his genius that the concept of natural theology, accepted by most educated Westerners before 1859, was vanquished within only a few years by a single five-hundred-page book. On the Origin of Species turned the mysteries of life's diversity from mythology into genuine science." -- Jerry Coyne

Charles Darwin was a Christian creationist but he threw out Jeebus and of course he threw out magical creationism. After that he virtually never talked about religion. After his favorite daughter died he would not go in the church for her funeral.
