The CoE has apologised to Darwin for criticising his theory of evolution, in a move to show people that they also think the intelligent design brigade are a bunch of nutters.
Church makes ‘ludicrous’ apology to Charles Darwin - 126 years after his death | Mail Online Quote:
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.

Good news about this is that in England, the creationists will never succeed in getting evolution taken out of schools now that even the church says creationism isn't the truth.
