Whether or not the Bible has furthered humanity is not even a question. It has, over many times and occasions sparked curiosity and compassion. Then again, it may have sparked so much more violence or atrocities, but that's not what I'm here to say.
What I'd like to point out is that no matter what it has done or where it has led us, we cannot allow these things to blind our judgment of its truth or untruth. It is this sideways mudslinging that confuses the issues that man faces today. None of it matters at all. We allow our temperaments and emotions to get in the way of our intelligence and logic, and these associated topics will only ever blind our eyes to looking at the issues for themselves.
In the end, it doesn't matter in the slightest what Darwin said on his deathbed, because the evidence of the phenomenon wouldn't change based on that. One way or another, there is evidence to prove or disprove it, and those are the things we should be bickering about.
