news.com.au — The Church of England will make an official apology to naturalist Charles Darwin for criticising his famous theory of evolution. Coming 126 years after his death, the church's apology will focus on how wrong it was for senior bishops in the past to misunderstand and attack Darwin's theory about man being descended from apes.

No, I can't. I have a medical condition which prevents me from saying that. Thanks for making me feel bad.

Too little too late?

There is no evidence that natural selection has produced a new body plan. Now, I can imagine that natural selection could do this, but being able to imagine it, as in the Blind Watchmaker, is not the same as actually having evidence that it did happen. The interpretation of DNA and fossils only creates discrete snapshots, but the reproducible, observable transformation of types would be necessary make a real scientific claim that evolution is true.

Reparations should be paid to Darwin's descendants ;=)

You would think they would have learned after Galileo. As for creationists, they do not bother themselves with facts, so it should not be a problem.

I cannot understand why the church would even consider apologizing to Charles Darwin, after-all with religion distorting God's word to mess up the population and Darwin's word to totally confuse and bulls**t them, they both should apologize to people who have logic's and common sense not to get invovled in either of them for screwing up mankind.

"and Darwin's word to totally confuse and bulls**t them"It's not bulls**t when it is observable in the fossil record and in life around us. Do yourself a favor and look up "ring species"
