His view is that science and religion answer two different sets of questions about creation, with science answering the "how" questions, and religion answering the "why" ones. "With a little bit of wisdom and tolerance on each side," he tells me, "I think they can complement rather than contradict each other."

Translation: It is a religious truth, but not a scientific truth, that G-d created the universe. It is a scientific truth, but not a religious truth, that the universe is a gigantic coincidence with no purpose or significance whatsoever (other than achieving "global social justice" or whatever other hang-ups evolutionists may be having at a given moment).

I thought "double truth" was disposed of some five hundred years ago.

"If anyone says that a proposition may be true in philosophy and false in theology or vice versa, let him be anathema."

Nope, that's not a scientific truth, and nope, that's not what evolution says.

You know, it's usually a good idea to learn about something before you crticize it.
