The theory of evolution is Darwin's theory of natural selection of genetic variation. It is that theory that has gotten confirmation from multiple lines of inquiry as Pope John Paul II stated.
The first statement, that God created the soul of man, is not a confirmation of Darwin's theory, and it is absolutely ridiculous of you to suggest that I was making that argument!
I pointed out what Pius II said to show that it was obviously about HUMAN BIOLOGICAL EVOLUTION, from pre-living matter.
When you talk your nonsense about ‘micro’ vs ‘macro’, a creationist delusion with no basis in science (evolution and common descent of species which is a consequence of evolution) and nothing the Pope has endorsed, some barrier regarding “Kinds” is the ‘micro’ ‘macro’ quibble, and Pope John Paul obviously rejected that argument utterly when speaking of the multiple lines of evidence that confirm the theory of evolution, and Pope Benedict did the same when speaking of the “scientific proof” in favor of evolution.
I think you need to understand Catholic theology better betty boop, they accept the science of a very old universe and the creation of man from pre-living material via evolution.
The creation of man from pre-living material, the subject of Pius that John Paul took up, is now just acceptance of “micro” evolution? Really? You are really going to make that argument?
Jeepers, allmendream — talk about a "man of faith!" Your faith in this preposterous idea seems to have no bounds, and nothing can disturb it!
And you say "science" has nothing to do with faith!
Guess I'll just go bone up on my Catholic theology now....
Merry Christmas!
