Different kooks, same nonsense

Creationists often use the refuted claim that Darwin recanted on his deathbed to make rational people realize that the creotards are actually more ignorant than they let on. What they do not realize is that the science of evolution does not have anything to do with Darwin recanting on his deathbed. Science is about evidence, not about what one long-dead person said or may have said.
Recently, I stumbled across a site run by this kook who is a germ-theory denialist. From her site:
Interestingly enough, Louis Pasteur was claimed to have stated on his death bed that Bechampe was right, the terrain (PH) is everything and the germ is nothing.That goes to show that as dissimilar as different kooks may seem, many of them subscribe to a lot of the same bullshit. It is also no surprise that people who have fallen for one form of stupidity often fall for more stupidity.
Sigh.
