So he's sticking up for some form of ID philosophy -- good. The bible demands it. The bible would be wrong if the heavens and earth didn't "declare the glory of God" which includes His explicit participation as creation commenced. I don't think you will meet this Pope giving a testimony in any Kenneth Ham 6-24-hour-day-YEC presentations anytime soon, however. He sounds more like he leans to the OEC views of, say, (Protestant) Hugh Ross. And even that as "ordinary teaching" (he's not going to make it an ex cathedra, infallible doctrine over which people get kicked out of the RCC).
