I prefer room for God as well as for human reasoning.

It is important to set proper limits to the understanding of Scripture, excluding any unseasonable interpretations which would make it mean something which it is not intended to mean. In order to mark out the limits of their own proper fields, theologians and those working on the exegesis of the Scripture need to be well informed regarding the results of the latest scientific research.

Just an FYI and may be apropo to nothing, but I'm not a Catholic. I was raised in that faith, but have since read the Bible cover-to-cover and had so many, shall we say differences with the Catholic leadership, that I never went back to them.
