Petition text:

We the Undersigned ask that the Cabinet Office of the United Kingdom to consider bestowing a posthumous Knighthood to Charles Robert Darwin for his major scientific contribution to the human race.

We call on the Cabinet Office to reverse the injustice carried out by Bishop Wilberforce in 1859 which caused the proposal put forth by Lord Palmerston to Queen Victoria that Charles Robert Darwin be knighted to be abandoned on religious grounds alone.
