The Sun revolves around the earth controversy a long time ago among others. Did religion ever apologize for killing and imprisoning the people that knew better? Is it possible religion is wrong about evolution also or some other aspect of the natural world? What happens to faith when religion makes mistakes?

Yup, religion usually is wrong about naturalistic view points.
An ex-girlfriend became an atheist when the RCC erred.

The only qualifications to join YA are: to be alive; thirteen; near a computer; have the ability to reach the keys ~ even if you need a highchair to get there. Quid Erat Demonstratum YA. Et voila: you are an expert, authority, anything appearing in print becomes legitimate and indisputable............................... Would that YA treat their adult members in a more adult and mystical manner: That just will not happen. It would hardly ever come up if the age requirement had a higher number. Use of standard language and a real effort toward spelling would be a boon, aboon, baboon. You have to remember the general demographic of all the users of this forum. Police, while gathering evidence, often have to sort through mountains of well-intended but entirely incorrect solicited and unsolicited information. People will give information because they really think they know, when they're not sure, and when they know they don't know. Others will come onto the scene and linger for attention, company and generally of no use to anyone else at the site of the incident. I've done that which you were 'guilty' of on YA. I'm sure less, because of me lesser exposure to it. There are certainly instances that almost compel any of us to say something that is , "...loud enough to wake the baby." ( ...as so aptly put to me by a colleague.) I've answered, heading the answer with (IMHO) I knew many of the posted answers were incomplete or inaccurate, without dissing the other respondents. I was compelled to actually say "come on people, how can there be a middle pedal if that piano has only two?" re: piano conformation. And if I were a saint I might have shut my mouth and prayed for them. [ Should one use 'conformation' while nattering on about a piano, does that mean the piano is an equine? ] Best, Petr B.

Religion can always be wrong...but God can not ever be wrong. Organized religions are the creations of man, not God, not Jesus. Therefore, a specific religion's interpretation of various historical events can sometimes determine a right or wrong that could disagree with certain scientific details. However, I doubt if man being created by accident (evolutionary theory) is one of those. Evolutionary theory is also a "religion" as it requires a great deal of faith in the unknown to be able to accept it as fact. Keep in mind, that even science does not claim it to be a fact...but only a theory. In otherwords, they THINK that is the way it happened. Faith in God is not from the intellect...it is from a person's spirit. Like trying to compare apples and oranges.

What mushroom have you been under? Christians...who I suppose is who you mean...do not agree as a whole or with each other on the origins of the universe or mankind. Which religion do you want to apologize for all this killing...they all were involved in killing, as were the Romans, Pagans, Vikings, Persians, Turks, Egyptians, individual tribes, nomads, bandits...some of us at least stopped before the 19th century.

I don't know about religion making a mistake but my God is perfect, no mistakes will be made here.
This is a test.
While we are here in our temporary body, God chooses to deal with us through faith. God himself must remain invisible otherwise the moment He shows Himself, the test is ended and faith is replaced with knowledge.
But not to worry, faith will be fact when we shall see Him as He really is.
I repeat it is a test. Pass or fail, no grading on the curve

Nah, religion is always right. For example, your neighborhood preacher thinks you're gonna burn in Hell and he's right on the money.
