According to the Bible, yes. It was even written that Darwin was on his death bed asking for forgiveness.

Darwin was very religious.

Darwin? The evolutionist? Lol, he hell? I thought he was an atheist.

Alliance Enforcer of the Republic

Hell no. He originally was in seminary school. All his work had massive religous overtones. He thought he discovered the way god worked.

Science was a way to get closer to god, to understand his nature and the nature of his creation.

Ops, typo. I meant ... "Lol, what the hell?"

Alliance Enforcer of the Republic

np.

But the opposite of evolution is creationsim, which was obviously opposed, right?

Alliance Enforcer of the Republic

No. Its just not 7-day creationism.

I voted yes, but you cannot just ask for forgiveness with your mouth on your death bed as I assume you mean. You have to truly believe that Christ died on the cross for you and that by his blood your sins will be washed away. Confessing it with your mouth is only part of it. "God weighs the motives of the heart." You need to believe as well to receive the forgiveness.

Yes.

However, the "deathbed conversion" program (fire insurance included) suffers from the "sudden death" clause, in which, if one dies prematurely, one doesn't have the opportunity to fulfill the legal obligations of the "deathbed conversion" program.

This is the program that costs your soul right?

I answered no because it is not as simple as it sounds. You just don't realize that you were an ******* all your life and on your deathbed say" Hey God forgive right, we cool right?" Nah, PEOPLE it doesn't work like that. Redemption is very possible but you have to truly truly mean it, you have to feel a complete transformation or else you will not be granted forgiveness
