"I am so sick of folks who deny evolution, the VATICAN for crying outloud has stated that evolution is not in conflict with the faith."

Micro or macro? Which? There's a MAJOR difference.

Macro my friend, Macro... the fundamentalists seem to have this foolish idea that the theory of evolution, is some how at odds with the divine. Its not.

It's a theory, and yes, even MACRO evolution is NOT in conflict with faith, and that's according to Vatican edicts on the matter.

Again, Evolution (in all things) is observable evidence that God exists. Saint Thomas Aquinas addresses this issue long before Darwin ever existed or proposed his theory of evolution.

Should macro evolution be proven beyond a reasonable doubt tommorrow it no more negates God than the fact evil in the world exist would negate God nor creation. Intelligent Design and Evolution are NOT in conflict and only the most aethist scientist or radical fundamentalists believe they are.
