Very interesting, and news to me. Also disappointing how so few people look this up.

There is a version of the argument that precedes Plantinga - Lewis' Argument from Reason, which you can find in his 'Miracles' book. I think the argument's validity is independent of the exact thoughts of Darwin.

All the same, I don't personally build my faith on it, since I don't take too much to that foundationalist approach. Where I do think it is a useful argument is as reason to doubt the materialistic position - the materialist cannot be sure that their beliefs are correct. They should thus remain at least sincerely open to the possibility of supernaturalism.
