Sorry but the Pope declaration that GOD used evolution to create man doesn't make it so. Isn't one of the Catholic doctrines that the Pope is infallible? Do you really believe that the Pope, whomever is today, is without sin?

What does his age have to do with anything? Are you inferring because he lived a long life he was without sin or better than anyone else?

You know, you remind me of someone trying to hit a pinata. You're taking blind whacks in every direction.

You've missed so many points on this thread, I'm beginning to suspect you're trying to throw a basketball game.

John Paul II was mentioned to demonstrate that you don't have to be an atheist to accept the Theory of Evolution. It has nothing to do with the Catholic doctrine of papal infallibility, whether or not one is Catholic, or whether or not the Pope is without sin (which has nothing to do with infallibility, btw).
