Besides that, evolution IS inherently anti-religious. As Dawkins would agree, there is no need for a God. All the answers are present.

I suppose you’re a smarter evolutionist than him?

As has been pointed out, Pope John Paul II accepted the fact of evolution. I suppose you think you know more about religion than he did?

"All the answers?" Preposterous. Evolution doesn't say anything about the origin of life. There's one big answer that's missing.

See #129

You obviously have forgotten that historically evolution has claimed a mechanistic, evolutionary climb out of the primeval soup.

Dawkins has not, and I’ve dredged up on these pages in the past textbooks that taught the same.

Just because current apologists for evolution like to claim that evolution deals only with change and not abiogenesis does not mean that it hasn’t taught that and assumed that in the past. (Which it has.)

Also, thanks for making my point about religious disagreement by pointing out the Pope’s position....unless you’re prepared to argue that he’s the only one allowed a voice in this discussion.

Catholic teaching is that Catholics are free to accept evolution as a mechanism for change and they are also free to believe in special creation. Just keeping it real.
