The Vatican and Intelligent Design
Good to see some encouragement toward good science coming out of the Vatican. This TIME article talks about how the Catholic Church is beginning to demonstrate views that intelligent design makes horrible science. I'm convinced evolution exists; I'd have to turn my back on years of scientific education not to. I'd also have to turn my back on years of theological education also. I appreciate how the pope has encouraged us from taking evolution too far. Evolution in and of itself does not rule out God. On the contrary, as both a Christian and a scientist, I find evolution a beautiful explanation about God's creation. I believe God created logic, the basis of science, so we should use this gift to explore God's world. I think evolution does just that, and its an error to question the faith of those not willing to consent to "theories" of young earth creationism.
