made the phosphor on my monitor glow in such a way as to indicate that: Fact is, the man was born in 1933. If you're having some difficulty with the math (and if you're a creationist git then surely you are) that would make him 73 years old. And he has cancer. Both is age and medical condition would be pretty good reasons for retiring. If the vatican opposes his views then the pope can just flat out contradict him on the spot. There's no need for them to beat around the bush. The fact is that the vatican doesn't know what lie to tell next, so, for now, they're keeping their ignorant mouths shut. Speaking of keeping ignorant mouths shut, maybe you should work on your own. The Church does not oppose evolution. Creationism is a Protestant thing. http://www.iht.com/articles/2006/01/.../evolution.php |

At least there's been no other physics nor available science proving otherwise. That's the strangest piece of syntax I've even seen in English outside of chinese electrical appliance user manuals. It looks like a machine translation of German. Though a German intellectual could probably manage the above paragraph with only a single full stop. |

Within many areas, including science, the Vatican is certainly a free inquiry zone, and has been for a few Centuries now. Granted, in other areas this is not the case. It does tend however to be more forgiving of liberal thinking than many other major religions. |

Until now that has been the case, but the German guy in the Vatican with the silly hat has dropped some hints about embracing intelligent design theory. We'll see if he carries through with that. Hopefully it's all a lot of hot air and nothing will come of it. |

(Though a characteristic shared by many Jews and Muslims). Treating the bibe as gospel! You can try to dodge the Scriptures if you want to. But it is hypocrisy to claim that one believes in a denomination that claims to believe the Scriptures and then tosses the basic idea of the Scriptures aside. If we got here by evolution, then Jesus is not Savior. -- "Verily I say unto you, This generation shall not pass, till all these things be fulfilled." - Matthew 24:34 O / / []()X()[] \ \ O "For the word of God is sharper than any two edged sword." http://members.aol.com/trwstrong/straight.html |
