The Catholic church has not had a problem with science or notions of evolution for over a century. Tiehard de Chardin, a paleontologist and Roman Catholic priest comfortably established a meaningful framework that allows us to be entirely comfortable with both the earliest forms of dinosaur's as explained by science and with the sacredness of the Creation stories in Genesis. There should be no conflict for people of faith.

It bothers me that some who claim to be people of faith are so fragile in their religious beliefs that they need to attack and distort scientific understanding without comprehending the meaning. They choose to create a straw man in Darwin rather than face their own call to Christ. If they were able to know the warmth of Christ in their hearts, do you think they would spew so much bitterness and hatred? I am profoundly offended by any religious movement intent on pushing conservatism into an anti science posture.
