Vatican believes in science

Faithful should listen to science/
The cardinal makes some good points, that science without religion gave us the atomic bomb, but religion without reason becomes fundamentalism.

Aparently the church believes in evolution too.

Monsignor Gianfranco Basti, director of the Vatican project STOQ, or Science,
Theology and Ontological Quest, reaffirmed John Paul's 1996 statement that
evolution was "more than just a hypothesis."
"A hypothesis asks whether
something is true or false," he said. "(Evolution) is more than a hypothesis
because there is proof."


Man they need to tell their people in this country that. The inspiration for this was the 1992 appology for the church attacking galileo for proposing that the earth circles the sun, not the other way around as the church taught. hmm.. the pope can admit that the church made a mistake and that science has proven its point. I wonder when all of our evangalists will grow-up and be able to admit that?
