[quote:george_glass:MV83MDUzMTJfMTA4MDA2ODZfM0M3NEE1Rjg=] [quote:Anonymous Coward 403381] I was just wondering how the creationist justify there views when they contradict the highest earthly christian authority, as well as all logical reasoning. Firstly have you ever seen anything that was not created including in a lab?.Secondly you have twisted the words of the pope not even putting a link.thirdly.. do not assume the pope is everybody's leader.Forthly my grammer suks. [/quote] "fifthly" use fucking google moron. http://www.livescience.com/blogs/2008/09/16/vatican-evolution-is-fine/ September 16th, 2008 Author Robert Roy Britt » Vatican: Evolution is Fine When people argue about evolution vs. creationism (or the disingenuous alternative to creationism called “intelligent design”) it often comes off as a debate between science and religion. This is the case with some conservative Protestants in the United States. However, [b]the Catholic Church has made it clear that it has no problem with evolution.[/b] Archbishop Gianfranco Ravasi, the Vatican’s culture minister, said today that the theory of evolution is compatible with the Bible. The Vatican discourages literal interpretations of the Bible, including the literal interpretation of creationism that is at odds with the very solid scientific theory of evolution. School districts in many U.S. states have wrestled with whether or not to teach intelligent design, which has no basis in science whatsoever, as an alternative to evolution in science classes. Scientists argue that you have to teach science in a science class, and keep religion (and fantasy ideas, like intelligent design) out of science class. The debate crept into national politics recently with reports that vice-presidential candidate Sarah Palin might be a creationist. Meanwhile, a recent Pew survey found that for the first time in more than a decade, a majority of Americans think religious organizations should stay out of politics. Ravasi said it this way: Creationism belongs to the “strictly theological sphere” and could not be used “ideologically in science.” According to Reuters, however, no apologies are forthcoming for Charles Darwin. (Worth noting here that the Vatican’s chief astronomer said earlier this year that believing in aliens does not contradict faith in God.) [/quote]
Original Message
For those who believe in intellegent design and creationism.
Does it not bother you that the current pope and the two before him have gone on record stating that evolution is entirely consistant with gods work and that the evidence for it is so overwhelming that they also say that talk of creationism or intellegent design is plainly wrong.
Most christians are catholic and therefore most accept evolution. Its only in america that ID or creationism is even mentioned. It is never even discussed in europe except in reference to the religious right of america.
Or are they part of a conspiracy???
