>>Can I get a source for a prominent Catholic saying they believe in I.D. (with the caps)?
I.D. is not a scientific theory as stated by the Discovery institute.<<

I’ll have to talk to someone at my parish teaching with MoDG and ask for the name of the science book she is using. Our book, “Exploring Creation” does not use the words that I can find.

Until I can get the name of their book, please see that B16 does believe in Intelligent Design...

The Daily Mail UK’s sensational article was contradicted by the Vatican who said the reassignment was already planned and had nothing to do with the Vatican astronomer denouncing I.D..

Here is Pope Benedict XVI on the subject of creationism and evolution.

“This clash is an absurdity because on one hand there is much scientific proof in favor of evolution, which appears as a reality that we must see and which enriches our understanding of life and being as such.”
The pontiff, speaking as he was concluding his holiday in northern Italy, also said that while there is much scientific proof to support evolution, the theory could not exclude a role by God.
