Pope John Paul II (1996) affirmed evolutionary theory in his message to the Pontifical Academy of Sciences, but rejected it for the human soul, which he saw as the result of a separate, special creation.
The Church of England publicly endorsed evolutionary theory (e.g., M. Brown 2008), including an apology to Charles Darwin for its initial rejection of his theory.
That was very condescending.
And ignorant too! Darwin was a dud.
Evolution is a fact, organisms adapt and evolve, or go extinct. The theory of evolution refers to the mechanisms and means of evolution.
Evolution is religion.
Not even close. Evolution has withstood more than a hundred and fifty years of questioning testing. Nobody has falsified evolution. Some of the details of th e theoretical aspect, the mean and mechanism, have been wrong but that just shows the work that ahs gone into it.
You can try, but just making a statement won't do the trick.
