Personally I have no interest in debating evolution vs. creationism (no amount of debate will change the truth); however, Darwinian eugenics has been responsible for well over ONE BILLION DEATHS in the last century.

“When an apology is made after 200 years, it's not so much to right a wrong, but to make the person or organisation making the apology feel better.”
Will someone please mail a copy of this to every elected politician in the United States? Either that or etch it over the entrance to Congress.

"Why bother?" Darwin said, "When an apology is made after 200 years, it's not so much to right a wrong, but to make the person or organisation making the apology feel better." Raucous round of applause, a Guinness, and a kitten to Mr. Darwin! Can I get his remark on a bumper sticker?

So does this mean that in 200 years the COE will apologize for The Archbishop of Canterbury’s calling for Sharia in Britain?

"Why bother?" Darwin said, "When an apology is made after 200 years, it's not so much to right a wrong, but to make the person or organisation making the apology feel better."Apologies are not usually about righting a wrong. Ideally they are simply about asking for undeserved forgiveness for the one asking.
At worst they are on behalf of somebody associated with the asker, but which the asker really wishes to discredit. (a cynical political past-time).
But even 200 years later, they are not necessarily pointless if they sincerely fit in the first category.

It’s rather unfair the Darwin has his name associated with such an evil philosophy. All he wanted to do was to try and explain how we got here and why we and other animals evolved. I don’t recall him ever advocating applying his theories to social engineers so that they could try and engineer the ‘perfect race’ through abortion, contraception and genocide. Other people did that....
