Interesting development. Hopefully it will snowball.
I agree.
From what I understand, non-Theistic evolutionists also reject the notion that this universe was created by some sort of pre-existing situation that we know nothing about (such as the physical laws of a prior universe), since that is sheer speculation and one might as well believe in G-d as to believe the big bang was "caused" by anything. Then one would have to ask where the previous universe came from, and so on, just as they ask where G-d came from. Instead they seem to hold that everything truly did come from absolutely nothing, however much such a concept violates the laws of the resulting reality ("this must have happened, after all, because here we are!"). And this initially meaningless reality began to spontaneously develop "order" of various kinds, including eventually some sort of "moral order," despite being ultimately meaningless.
Weird.
Unfortunately the Vatican moves like molasses.
