I'm not sure you would call Darwin's change of religious attitude a "crisis of faith." Though he denied "revelation," an atheist he never became. Denying Divine revelation and involement, but as a "first cause," he was closer to being a deist or theist, maybe an agnostic. Since I haven't been up on the history of science for a while, I'm not sure my references are the most up-to-date. Take a gander at Janet Browne's two volume biography of Darwin, particularly the second volume. But, again, since her second volume was published almost a decade ago, I don't know if she's the latest word. Make it a good day
