so yeah, i'm just jumping in the end here, but has anyone mentioned that the catholic church fully supports the idea of evolution?...more of a "God set it in motion": type of thing. much like islam.
That hasn't always been true. It was actually fairly recently that the Catholic Church decided they believe in evolution. I wonder if they will keep making concessions until they are all existentialist atheists.

Yes, I actually knew one of Schroeder friends for a time. Schroeder is a very creative and intelligent man.
Cheers,

I just wanted you to know that while I find your posts to be well thought-out and articulate I am highly offended at your new sig line. It is written in a language I do not speak and the sight of what appears to be an armed Muslim riding a horse on some kind of a violent mission is disconcerting. And so are the words that accompany it.
But then again, you probably knew that.

"Geology shows that fossils are of different ages. Paleontology shows a fossil sequence, the list of species represented changes through time. Taxonomy shows biological relationships among species. Evolution is the explanation that threads it all together. Creationism is the practice of squeezing one's eyes shut and wailing 'does not!'. "

the catholic church of concessions huh chump?
actually, the way i see it is that when evolution was first thought out, we didn't support it, because we can't just jump up and believe everything that comes along, we have to make sure it's not a passing trend. we try to side with the logical side of science, and some theories take generations to truley unfold. but after time has passed, and after much more evidence has been given, THEN we say, "okay, now that you've proved it, we believe it."
not really a concession as much as being cautious in my mind. but then in my mind strange things happen...especially on drugs...but that's another story.
not always, but most times...regardless of what propaganda may say, the church just takes no stance at all until one side of an arguement is proved. we realize science needs to be left to the scientists, now if only scientists, would leave religion to us. then we could just come together and work together and make everything in the known universe (be it physical or not) understood. then there would be no problems. unfortunenatly, that's a long way off.
