Thats a complete fabrication. Only one person (Lady Hope) ever claimed to witness this recantation, and all of his relatives denied that this event ever took place. Darwin's son publicly challenged her to respond to his accusations about the falsehood of her claim, and she rather conspicuously remained silent.

Man would indeed be in a poor way if he had to be restrained by fear of punishment and hope of reward after death
