In 1838, while conceptualizing the transmutation of species, he surrendered his previously held Unitarian/Anglican Christian beliefs. His correspondence late in life declared his Agnosticism.

as in 'a darwin'. An eponymous unit of evolutionary change just as a newton is a measure of force, ampere a measure of electrical current and Kelvin a measure of temperature. According to JBS Haldane, one darwin equals a rate of change (for examplein size) of 0.1% per thousand years. Slow chnage would be measured in 'millidarwins', rapid change in 'kilodarwins'. Actually, the darwin has not been much used in the literature to express rates of evolution.
