I'm all for apologizing when we err, but the Church of England is now apologizing to Darwin!? DailyMail
The tragic part of this is (Pay close attention to the Bold):
Church officials compared the apology to the late Pope John Paul II’s decision to say sorry for the Vatican’s 1633 trial of Galileo, the astronomer who appalled prelates by declaring that the earth revolved around the sun.
The officials said that senior bishops wanted to atone for the vilification their predecessors heaped on Darwin in the 1860s, when he put forward his theory that man was descended from apes.
The Church is also anxious to counter the view that its teaching is incompatible with science. It wants to distance itself from fundamentalist Christians, who believe in the Biblical account of the creation of the world in seven days.
An article to be posted on the Church’s website will say: ‘Charles Darwin, 200 years from your birth [in 1809], the Church of England owes you an apology for misunderstanding you and, by getting our first reaction wrong, encouraging others to misunderstand you still.
Has not God made foolish the wisdom of the world? Here we have a church disregarding God's word and accepting a mans (A man with a theory at that!?) They misunderstood him? His theory suggests that the Bible is false and that is wrong, there is little there to misunderstand.

"The one thing Darwin could not admit was that God somehow played an active role in controlling the direction of evolution." Peter J. Bowler in his book: Charles Darwin: The Man and His Influence (Cambridge University Press.
As Albert Mohler put it, Darwin probably understood Christian teaching better than Dr. Brown (a senior cleric of the Church of England)does.
