This ought to be pretty good; certainly worth following. The Vatican is sponsoring a five day conference to mark the 150th anniversary of the publication of Charles Darwin's Origin of Species.
The subject is the compatibility of evolution and creation.
It is one of two separate international academic conferences being sponsored by the Vatican this year.
They aim to re-examine the work of scientific thinkers whose revolutionary ideas challenged religious belief: Galileo and Charles Darwin.

I don't think anything of great import will come of it beyond the sound of creationist grunting and frothing. But that alone makes it worthwhile -- don't you just love it when they get all stirred up all by themselves? Hey Donohue, this bunkum's for you!

I hope they do re-examine the work of Galileo & Charles Darwin in depth, researching all of the evidence and then comparing it to creationism. I can see, Ray Comfort, and the other IDiots squirming. This will probably further separate Catholism from the other Christian branches.
I can hardly wait to see what happens.

Brother, You say there is but one way to worship and serve the Great Spirit. If there is but one religion, why do you white people differ so much about it? Why not all agree, as you can all read the book. -Sagoyewatha,(Red Jacket) - Chief and great orator of the six nations. |
