Charles Darwin To Receive Apology From D Church Of England 4 Rejecting Evolution by adahib: 11:24pm On Nov 12, 2013 |
By Jonathan Wynne-Jones, Religious Affairs Correspondent 6:08PM BST 13 Sep 2008 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.

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. |

You can use your thinking faculty, i guess, even if you dont believe in the bible. 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. 1 Like |

Famous atheist evolutionist comes unstuck - He avoids answering the question. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MX7Htg2HxkA 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 |

OLAADEGBU: Famous atheist evolutionist comes unstuck - He avoids answering the question. 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. 4 Likes |

rationalmind: 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. |
Re: Charles Darwin To Receive Apology From D Church Of England 4 Rejecting Evolution by Nobody: 3:43pm On Nov 23, 2013 |
OLAADEGBU: 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. 4 Likes |
