Someone should hand these folks a copy of Genesis.

The Vatican has a chief astronomer?

The following can be said about Fr. Coyne's remarks. They are his and not the Vatican's and to Fr. Coyne I would say:

ID arguments have been around as long as Aristotle and they are philosophical in nature. Order or complexity as such is an observable phenomenon and can be scientifically measured and described.

What that order means, I believe takes one into the philosophy of science. Revelation takes us further. Pope Benedict criticized the notion that creation was without direction or order.

Evolutionists themselves can go beyond the scientific evidence and enter the arena of philosophy of science but they often don't acknowledge that transition.

[The Ghost of FReepers Past]

So, how long do they think it will take God next time around, when He creates the new heaven and new earth? Just curious. Oh, and how long did it take Him to part the Red Sea?

[Elpasser]

And his scientific points and arguments that life was not intelligently designed are...?

Just more rhetoric.

[OldFriend]

Ah, the Jesuits!!!

[1_Of_We]

"If you want to teach it in schools, intelligent design should be taught when religion or cultural history is taught, not science."

Perhaps the 'Theory of Evolution' should also be taught in religion or cultural history classes also. Not many (if any) scientific 'facts' exist to support the 'Theory of Evolution'.

[hosepipe]

Intelligent design is Agnostic Creativism..

Evolution is Dialectic Scientific Material sub-Marxism..

[Humvee]

Much of Genesis has its roots in Babylonian mythology - and there are two creation stories in Genesis. Substantial portions of the Old Testament were writen during the Babylonian exile, thus source materials were "borrowed."

[unlearner]

refute - to prove to be false or erroneous; overthrow by argument or proof

If it is possible for a Vatican official to actually refute ID, it must be falsifiable after all.

[TradicalRC]

Is there a working definition of science?

[redhead]

Gads...I remember when the Jesuits were noted for their brains. Guess those days are gone forever.

[nmh]

If they allow homosexual priests, why not deny God creating all we see and don't see? I say it goes together like a hand in a glove ... another rational reason not to be a Catholic.

Vatican's Evolutionists
By Rafael Brom

Catholics should wonder why Vatican constanly issuing a stout defence of
Charles Darwin's Fraudulent Communist Religion "Theory of Evolution".
Now we have Vatican's high ranked Cardinal claiming
that the Genesis description of how God created the universe and Darwin's
theory of evolution were "perfectly compatible" if the Bible were read correctly.
Looks like that 150 million martyrs who were tortured and killed by communists
since 1917 in the name of "Theory of Evolution" did not read their Bible correctly.
I am sure that Vatican's Evolutionists will one day declare St. Peter as the First Communist
and Communism as perfectly compatible with the Bible.
Considering that we are made on the Image of God according to the Bible
and that we evolved from monkeys according to Vatican, God must look like a King Kong.
