The Church of England will concede in a statement that it was over-defensive
and over-emotional in dismissing Darwin's ideas. It will call "anti-
evolutionary fervour" an "indictment" on the Church".
The bold move is certain to dismay sections of the Church that believe in
creationism and regard Darwin's views as directly opposed to traditional
Christian teaching.
The apology, which has been written by the Rev Dr Malcolm Brown, the Church's
director of mission and public affairs, says that Christians, in their response
to Darwin's theory of natural selection, repeated the mistakes they made in
doubting Galileo's astronomy in the 17th century.
"The statement will read: Charles Darwin: 200 years from your birth, the
Church of England owes you an apology for misunderstanding you and, by
getting our first reaction wrong, encouraging others to misunderstand you
still. We try to practise the old virtues of 'faith seeking understanding' and
hope that makes some amends."
Opposition to evolutionary theories is still "a litmus test of faithfulness" for
some Christian movements, the Church will admit. It will say that such
attitudes owe much to a fear of perceived threats to Christianity.

The church is gradually embracing evolution over creationism... We are getting there...

By this, are they saying creation is not real & evolution real?

new paparazzi: By this, are they saying creation is not real & evolution real?

Evolution is creation.

However, Don't get it twisted

Pls mods this should be in front page.
It's very important

^^^Yes, the buybull's creation story isn't real... they must also apologize to Africans for giving them the buybull without them understanding how it should be interpreted!!!

Just smiling to myself, knew it won't take long any more, not surprised at all no not one bit surprised.

Pls explain sir

Sign of humility,
they never claimed hundred percent acceptance of evolution
they only apologised for being quick to dismis it when it is being investigated

The church trying to accept evolution

I wont say anytin
I will try not to
Arrgghh!
I cant take it anymore
E|\|d time tins

On a more serious note
Science and religion are parallel approaches to man's origin and a lot of arguments
Trying to corroborate or compare 'facts' from these two is a waste of time.

Too much fuss about our origin!
Man know thyself.

Don't mind them....do I know how they select topics for front page?

That blind evolution is false. creation is real. Have you ever seen a house that rose up from the ground without anybody building it? your answer to that will help you a lot to know that man must be created. He can not evolve from monkey.

You are still living in the world the Bible has created in ur mind

Seconded

And you think evolution that doesnt have any logical reasoning is right. If u think man has evovled from monkey why hasnt another specie evolved from man over the years? You can use your thinking faculty, i guess, even if you dont believe in the bible.

This has implication for islam as well. come to think of it, if christianity goes down islam will go with it!

take time out to read about evolution bros!

Evolution is very logical and reasonable, it's because u are dumb and cannot think outside the Bible, heck u can't even think inside the Bible.

It takes more than 8000 years for a specie to completely evolve to another level.

Humans of today aren't humans of 4000 years ago, we've changed a lot

The earth's cosmology is gradually changing as well as the eco system. Evolution is the most logical of reasoning.

Christian! Christian!! Christian!!!
Why are thou fo****??

nnofaith: This has implication for islam as well. come to think of it, if christianity goes down islam will go with it!

sure

Famous atheist evolutionist comes unstuck - He avoids answering the question.

Question: Can you give an example of a genetic mutation or an evolutionary process which can be seen to increase the information in the genome?

Watch the apostle of evolutionary theory stammer and hum his way into not answering this question. He didn't want to answer the question, so he changed the topic altogether. How diplomatic of him

And if he can't answer, evolution is false. When you people understand that the unexplained doesn't mean the inexplicable, that's when u'll start making sense when you talk.

Someone Said: "Creationism is anti-science."

Creationism can be observed. Genesis says every animal has male and female and brings forth after its own kind (see Genesis 1). Faith isn’t necessary when it comes to what the Bible says about these things, because this is observable in the existing creation and in the fossil record. Darwinian evolution isn't scientific because it doesn't pass the scientific method. If you don’t believe it watch www.evolutionvsGod.com and listen to evolutionary scientists admit it.

Yea. I agree with you creationism can be observed.

Its been observed how God made adam from clay, we see many more people made from clay these days.

And I thought its common knowledge scientists often disagree on what exactly is the scientific method.
