Quote: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.

Ermmm... Darwin's theory wasn't about man being descended from apes!
(It was about man and apes both descending from common ancestors, a 'proto man/ape').
So those 'misunderstandings' and attacks were classic cases of barking up the wrong tree.
Those 'senior bishops' demonstrated, time and again, that comprehensive reading wasn't their strong suit. Big Grin
