How weird is it that the best way to be sure your kids get a good science education is to send them to Catholic school?

Maybe a supernatural creator was the first one to come up with evolution, and Darwin just figured out a small part of what the creator was doing.

The entire evolution vs ID debate is an aberration caused by the fact that freedom of speech, or any other kind of freedom, has been eliminated in government schools.
ID was invented as a way of combatting the fact that public schools have become little more than Demo(n)cRAT indoctrination camps.

"Intelligent design" not scienceI don't need the Vatican to tell me that ID isn't science...or anything else about science.

Yeah! Well, the vatican are just a bunch of atheists!
To: peyton randolph
Pope Pius XII stated church teaching on this point in 1950 in an encyclical called 'Humani Generis'(You can find it on line). It states in part that research and discussion into the doctrine of evolution regarding the question of the origin of the human body from pre-existing living matter is permitted. [para. 36] and that research must consider theories favorable and unfavorable to evolution fairly. [para. 36] So this statement by Pope Benedict does not seem to change anything. There has always been an argument for the existence of God based on intelligent design in Theology, but it is not a scientific argument because it cannot be demonstrated nor, in fact, disproved through experimentation.

The Roman Catholic Church has restated its support for evolution...AND
Al Gore has restated his belief he won the presidency.

Jesus refers to God creating male and female and creating the world many times in the Gospels. How can a church believe in evolution, the random, accidental origin of life in light of Jesus's own words?
To: peyton randolph
The Church, which has never rejected evolution, teaches that God created the world and the natural laws by which life developed.
The Catholic Church does not believe in creationism? WOW!!!
To: peyton randolph
ID may not be "scientific," (if it was, I seriously doubt that we could understand it) but it is historical.
Atheistic evolutionists are only trying to force their opinionated theories on the general public by hiding behind the humped-up liberal judges' opinions.
To: peyton randolph
Fiorenzo Facchini, a professor of evolutionary biology at Italy's Bologna University Someone needs to point out that this is basically the equivalent of an op-ed by a biology professor. It's not some sort of binding statement of Catholic doctrine, an infallible Papal pronouncement, a change in church policy, or anything like that.

Here's a little blurb from the CNS story on the same article that didn't make it into the AP story:
The article said that, unfortunately, what has helped fuel the intelligent design debate is a tendency among some Darwinian scientists to view evolution in absolute and ideological terms, as if everything -- including first causes -- can be attributed to chance.
"Science as such, with its methods, can neither demonstrate nor exclude that a superior design has been carried out," it said.

Good for the Vatican! ID is a joke.

The Catholic Church also told me when I was growing up about Mary and her assumed deity, and then later denied the virgin birth.
Not consistent.
