Atheism is a faith based belief.

The Roman Catholic Church has called the theory of evolution as much fact as any other theory.

My friend calls evolutiuon "just a theory"; so I told him so is the theory of microbial infection. And so is the theory of drug receptors and drugs.

But his children have taken anti-biotics based on the "theory of microbial infection" even though it it "just a theory".

Leave science to scientists.

How many anti-infective drugs or vaccines have you taken based on "just a theory'?

"How many anti-infective drugs or vaccines have you taken based on "just a theory'?"

And how many times have theories been wrong? Maybe this one is. All I ask is for more open-mindedness from evos.

One more thing, just so you know:

“Further, he (the Pope) seems to be cautioning those who have been claiming Church endorsement of the full-bodied, design-defeating version of Darwin's theory of evolution, which, after all, is often little more than philosophical materialism applied to science,” added Chapman.

Chapman noted that in his very first homily as Pope, Benedict XVI had rebuked the idea that human beings are mere products of evolution, and that, like his predecessor, John Paul II, the new Pope has a long record of opposition to scientific materialism.

Take care.

I find it interesting that you choose to characterize as "stupid mythology" a field of inquiry that acknowledges the possibility that the Universe was designed by possibly the very God in which you believe.

Not wanting the information presented in science classes is an understandable position (although it is one with which I disagree), but why would a believer in God characterize it as "stupid mythology"?
