Church Of England To Apologize To Charles Darwin

In an unusual move by the Church of England, or any other church for that matter, they are going to apologize to Charles Darwin for their initial reaction to his famous theory of evolution that he proposed in his famous book nearly 150 years ago. The apology will be written by Rev. Dr. Malcolm Brown who is church director of public affairs. In Darwin's Book "On The Origin of Speices" he proposed that life on this planet was the result of a process of evolving over time which was a contradiction of the churches preaching that life was instantly created by a higher being or "God" totally evolved from the start. Darwin also proposed that human beings were in fact genetically related to "lesser Life forms" such as apes and monkeys which the church and other creationists not only objected to but were offended by. Over time as scientists have studied Darwin's theories they have further gained acceptance as more than likely to have been accurate and are now considered valid. The church in the beginning condemned Darwin for his theories as flying in the face of the teachings of the church. He was villified in some circles and continues to be among Christian conservatives to this day for his studies and his conclusions.
