Did Charles Darwin denounce his theory of evolution and accept creationism?

If at all, then God didn't make organisms, but matter.
Matter evolved into organisms, organisms evolved
into whatever we are now.

This part is not THAT complicated in general. More so in details.
The beginning, if there ever was one, is more obscure.

yea i know a lot about it actually. our universe was actually smaller than an atom starting out, then the big bang thingy, now it's constantly expanding. There are things outside the universe actually, people think it's just an infinite amount of space, but you never know. God could be outside for all we know.

The "outside" is still inside of something. So whether
God is in this "bag", or outside of it, He is still
"inside" the thing that we could describe as "The World",
i.e. "everything that exists". There is no place that is
"outside of everything".
OR... "He" IS "The World".

hmmm, you just blew my mind. Still there has to be an afterlife. Energy can't be created nor destroyed, and everything has energy that lives. so once our bodies die our energy still lives in the same form from a solid and physical past. Memory and feelings also increases energy levels and leaves imprints and adds on to that energy. so yes, there is an after life of us just floating around as energy, we could be conscious and aware of where we are, sometimes not. hmmm. God is everything we see and touch, because without everything else we couldn't exist or thrive. so in a way, yes, the earth is our god, our mother, our savior. It can provide and it can take away. Gotta love it. Still we submit ourselves to God, as well as myself i am dedicated to him or her, i believe there is more. there has to be more. if there wasn't there would be no purpose of us being here and would throw off the balance of the universe cycle.

"Still there has to be an afterlife."
No. There doesn't have to be.
There might be, but not has to.
.
"Energy can't be created nor destroyed, and everything has
energy that lives. so once our bodies die our energy still
lives in the same form from a solid and physical past."
At least that is what's believed. Even if that's true,
the energy that we are created from will most possibly
spread all over everywhere and the "soul"/consciousness
will possibly be destroyed in the process. Even during
life all the energy we are made of is replaced all of
the time, allegedly during Your life time, every little
piece of energy You are made of will be randomly replaced
by a different piece.
.
"Memory and feelings also increases energy levels and leaves
imprints and adds on to that energy."
Ehhh... I don't know where did You get that from. As far as
seems reasonable, memory and feelings are constructed from
energy as "geometric combinations". They don't increase
anything. When this geometry is broken, everything is lost.
.
"so yes, there is an after life of us just floating around as
energy, we could be conscious and aware of where we are,
sometimes not. hmmm."
Well... if You call flying around as energy (which might
be particles or not) all over everywhere the afterlife,
then in some metaphorical way, it might be true. But I
honestly doubt this desintegration will preserve the
"soul"/consciousness.
.
"God is everything we see and touch, because without everything
else we couldn't exist or thrive."
If God is "The World" then that would make a kind of sense.
Since thus it would make as a part of God and everything we
would touch or sense in any other way would be a part of God.
.
"so in a way, yes, the earth is our god, our mother, our savior.
It can provide and it can take away. Gotta love it."
At least it's a part of our 'God'.
.
"Still we submit ourselves to God, as well as myself i am dedicated
to him or her"
If we treat God as "The World" then it's tough not to submit
oneself to 'Him', since we are part of 'Him' and we are
bound by 'His' rules. It's also tough not to be "dedicated"
to "Him", because whatever You do happens inside of 'Him'.
But I don't know what do You exactly mean by "dedicating"
to Him.
.
"I believe there is more. there has to be more."
First of all, more of what? What are You expecting to
be more of? Secondly, is there not enough already?
.
"if there wasn't there would be no purpose of us being here."
Because there isn't. The purpose of life is to live and die.
Other purposes You create by Yourself. That would be this
"freedom of will" everyone seems to be talking about.
.
"and would throw off the balance of the universe cycle."
You're talking in mystics. What cycle? I don't know
of any "universe cycle". Besides even if there was one,
I don't see nothing wrong with "throwing it off balance".
Do You?

A lot of things to answer i see... Well starting off, all kinds of feelings such as happiness, anger, calm, horror... all change the energy levels around you. It's been proven scientifically through meters used to measure energy produced by humans. sometimes a big enough energy imprint is left and remains in contact. I guess you don't believe in ghosts, i definitely do because i've seen, heard/talked, and felt them. I believe what we portray them to be is a bit cheesy. Energy i suppose could be dispersed or absorbed by something else. but most energy stays in place and together because it is in use by something, in this case as an imprint of feelings which were given off by said organism. so it stays there because it's connected, serving a purpose, staying in use. it's just a scientific theory and in a way makes a lot of sense, but still, theories cannot be proven. thats why theyre theories.

I have to admit the way "most people" treat the earth makes me sad. I live from the earth and it has all my respect. It is the ultimate source of life. Sadly this is just me, i can't speak for everyone. when i mean dedication i mean we must put work into the earth in order for the earth to provide. Much like religion, we dedicate ourselves to the Christian God and follow his rules in order to get what we desire (heaven). So in order to get what we want from the earth (food) we must put in work and dedication.

And about the universe thing, i know this would be confusing to you. I am a believer in everything happens for a reason. Much like karma, the universe is at balance, if you good you will be returned good. if you are evil you will be returned evil. Because the universe must be balanced in order to work properly. So everything we give, gets returned right back to us. Maybe not in this life, but in the next maybe, i really can't say. Again, just a theory. kind of like time travel, you know if you travel back in time the whole universe would collapse, because it's throwing off the balance. Not saying i believe in time travel, i'm not that gullible. I just like philosophy and different types of theories. They interest me.

So give me these studies. Although honestly I doubt in
creation by emotion. Only "recycling". Not that I fully
know what do You mean by Your "energy" anyway.
.
"I guess you don't believe in ghosts, i definitely do because

I assume I would have to carefully research this to believe it.
To be sure You don't have a mental illness or are not on some
drugs while experiencing this. And even if, maybe You have
misunderstood this phenomenon as something different.
So if You want explain to me, what is it that you have actually
seen, heard, felt and talked about, do so.

Which I guess will not be used anymore once a person dies and thus
there will be no more purpose to be connected, thus it will
desintegrate.
.
"it's just a scientific theory and in a way makes a lot of sense,

As a matter of fact many (if not most) scientific theories can
be proved to a certain point. Which depends on how much certainty
You require for something to be called a prove.
.
"I have to admit the way "most people" treat the earth makes me sad.

That makes sense.

If that's what You feel right for You. I believe that if God didn't
want us to do something, then it would be impossible to do and
therefore everything we do is "fine in the divine meaning".
.
"When i meant more i meant there is definitely something bigger than
us, something we wouldn't be able to understand."
There are many things we don't understand. There are many details
in the things we already see, that we don't notice. Though I wouldn't
search this "MORE" outside of what is reachable to us. I would seek
it in paying more attention to what we already have. And to finding
the things that are important in the LARGE amount of details that
surround as, yet we miss them even when they are in front of our eyes.
You can read this short article to know what I mean:

Now You are assuming things about me and it can be taken as insulting.

That is nice, though I'm not so optimistic to believe outside powers are
interfering to make my life better as a reward for me being a "good person".
Though this belief when held by enough people can become a self-fulfiling

... this "balance" through their
actions, influenced by the idea of "justice". Though there are many evil
people who live their whole lives all the way to death, fully satisfied
and without punshiment. Of course You might say that this "karma" might
give You back for Your "goodness" in the next incarnation, or something
similar, but since I'm not optimistic enough to believe we are so
fortunate to have more than one chance, I stick to taking care of
this life, since it might be the only one, and changing plans,
because of the things that could happen in the afterlife or another
incarnation seems kind of far-fetched. And I'd rather not waste
such a short life on things, that might not even exists.
And I believe, if there is a God, "He" won't punish me
in any way for this logic. And even if He will, so be it.
Tough luck. :) Not that I can do much about it.

Well. Not all theories assume that things would collapse with time
travel. There are theories that state, that when You go back in time,
You might really not go back into "our universe", but into an identical
copy of "our universe" at that time. And that whatever You do in
that "copy universe" doesn't influence "our universe" at all -
You disappear from it - and that You can do anything You want in the
"copy universe", even kill Your parents (actually copies of Your
parents) and meet the copy of Yourself and no collapse will happen.
.
"I just like philosophy and different types of theories. They interest me."
That's good. Philosophy can be very good as one of the tools for developing
into a valuable, happy person.

I'm not talking about creation by emotion, because all energy is recycled. Energy can't be created, it's impossible., i'm talking about energy still existing in that form because it is linked with a certain emotional imprint. I cannot give you a scientific test, i'm sure you could probably find one. I have seen several TV shows on this, also there is as lab where you can go and get your energy levels measured and depending on the color, it shows what your mood is.
