Pope Francis Declares Evolution and Big Bang Theory Are Right
HughPickens.com writes: The Independent reports that Pope Francis, speaking at the Pontifical Academy of Sciences, has declared that the theories of evolution and the Big Bang are real. "When we read about Creation in Genesis, we run the risk of imagining God was a magician, with a magic wand able to do everything. But that is not so," said Francis. "He created human beings and let them develop according to the internal laws that he gave to each one so they would reach their fulfillment." Francis explained that both scientific theories were not incompatible with the existence of a creator – arguing instead that they "require it." "Evolution in nature is not inconsistent with the notion of creation, because evolution requires the creation of beings that evolve." Experts say the Pope's comments put an end to the "pseudo theories" of creationism and intelligent design that some argue were encouraged by his predecessor, Benedict XVI who spoke out against taking Darwin too far.

Keeping an open mind is good but make sure your brain doesn't fall out.
What state are you in, your dealer appears to have some great stuff?
As a theoretical physics doctoral candidate I've spent many a night staring into the ceiling hoping the pope would confirm the fundamental compoent of everything from my undergraduate education to my last twelve grant proposals. My boyfriend, a medical doctor, is equally relieved to understand his approach to antibiotics has been validated in the context of the theory of evolution and not as medical science once assumed to 'the aetherous ichor of daemons betwixt these foul realms.'
Good people go to bed earlier.
Thank you, I was just thinking: "You know, if there were space aliens in here, this whole book would be even more believable."

That's how we know Scientology is real. I'm not saying it's because of aliens, but.... aliens.
I'm not saying it was aliens
On "The Big Bang Theory". Mine is Penny. LOL
Hmmm pie.
The aliens were just here for a picnic, and they spilled some of their primordial soup.
HA! That reminds me of what Terry Carr, a science fiction writer, once said, that if the Bible was released as an Ace Double, it would have been titled "War God of Israel", with the flip side called "The Thing with Three Souls".
There is no God, and Dirac is his prophet.
...Especially an argument about the proper spelling of "Calvinism!"
