.... Pope Francis, the head of the Roman Catholic Church, said that Darwinian evolution is real, and so is the Big Bang....
...the new Pope's quasi-heretical claim isn't anywhere near the first of its kind. The church first brought evolution into the fold in 1950 with the work of Pope Pius XII, writes io9. “At the same time, Catholics take no issue with the Big Bang theory, along with cosmological, geological, and biological axioms touted by science.”

If the entirety of man's appearance, to include his development from single-celled organism to a being with a soul made in the likeness of his Creator, was set in motion by an omnipotent, omniscient, and omnipresent God from nothing, with no other agent of influence upon it other than that Creator, then ALL of it is supernatural. Can you show me where this notion appears in an authoritative text on evolution?
To: Springfield Reformer
Obviously, the significant difference between man and other animals is his soul. Otherwise, we share enough of the same biological characteristics to be included as mammals. It is the appearance of that soul that would appear to be the defining miracle of humanity, while the biological development of our corporeal selves seems plainly to have occurred in the same manner as that of the other animals.

Probably not. Why? Well, IIRC, I made the remark that evolution presupposes that God did not create man, and in response to that you gave me a particular formulation of "evolution", so I would like to know which evolution text affirms your formulation.
