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.

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!

THX for the ping.

Have a blessed weekend and Christmass and New Year!

It is not a preposterous idea betty boop, that the Pope is talking about the creation of man from pre-living material via evolution. It was an idiotic assertion of your own that he was somehow talking about “cosmic evolution”, the big bang or some such. That is absolutely untrue, and you should know better.

Your own faith, that the Pope just wouldn't say such a thing, seems impervious to evidence to the contrary!

So acceptance of the evolution of man from pre living material is now just acceptance of “micro” evolution?

I mean a 2% genetic change between us and a chimpanzee is a pretty “micro” change, and I am sure there are greater genetic differences among animals you deem to be the same “kind” - but really.

Are you actually going with your assertion that when the Pope talks of the creation of man from pre living material, he is speaking of “micro” evolution?

Really?
