I don’t. If you read the post I responded to, it was a listing of articles indicating the Pope did not believe in intelligent design. Since it is obvious he believes God created the universe, how is that not Intelligent Design? I received an explanation for this which seemed ok at face value, but Orthodox Christianity could not be worked into that worldview, Deism maybe.

No need to sigh, I was pursuing down the road bad reasoning and just as I thought, the road came to a dead end.

oh, no worries -- we all make bad reasoning.

however, I was sighing because those articles themselves are quite incorrect.
Firstly, they don't say what the Pope actually SAID, but rather what some reporters think he said! The MSM loves to make up stories.
Secondly, well, if one believes that God was behind everything in creation, that is Intelligent Design, as I understand it -- correct?

My apologies again -- the sigh was not so much directed at you as at MSM for consistently making up what they want us to think the pope said.

Their strategy of making up news is pretty old and lame
