Pope Francis gave a lot of fundagelicals a sad Monday when he restated a fairly simple tenet of Catholic belief: There's no contradiction between faith and science, particularly the theory of evolution and the Big Bang. Even though that's not exactly a new idea in Catholicism -- Yr Dok Zoom remembers being taught the same in catechism back in the early 1970s -- the prevalence of creationist nonsense among American fundamentalist Protestants leads lots of people to think that Catholicism is similarly anti-science. Jeez, you send a few astronomers to the Inquisition on heresy charges and suddenly everybody thinks you don't like science!
And the LORD God said, It is not good that the man should be alone; I will make him an help meet for him. And out of the ground the LORD God formed every beast of the field, and every fowl of the air; and brought them unto Adam to see what he would call them: and whatsoever Adam called every living creature, that was the name thereof. --Genesis 2:18-19
Literal truth, right Pat? Word of God, yadda yadda.... and so is Genesis 1, where it's animals first, then Adam? Fundies pick and choose the "true" parts - and then delude themselves about the REST of it being allegorical, or maybe not translated correctly from the original King's English.
So evolution is revealed as a popish plot! What are the folks at the <a href="http:\/\/creationmuseum.org\/" target="_blank">Creation Museum</a> saying about it? Now I expect to see letters to the editor of the local paper that will look like something out of <a href="https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch\?v=3t0eFo54u2A" target="_blank"> Flannery O&#039;Connor </a>.

So the Lamb lies down in a broad way with science, just as it has for most of its history. (By the way, Pope Francis, I know what I like in your wardrobe.) Galileo, a Catholic who had many supporters in the Church of his day (as well as a few enemies, both religious and secular), was the original watcher of the skies.
Right, because the Earth was surrounded by canopies of water that resembled the rings of Saturn. One by one they collapsed over time, causing a serious of great floods. This is why the Earth&#039;s crust shows evidence of strata and that fossils of different animals are buried at different depths. The Great Deluge of Noah was the final one, caused when the last ring collapsed. Don&#039;t worry about where all of that flood water went. God works in mysterious ways.
According to the <a href="http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/How_many_angels_can_dance_on_the_head_of_a_pin\?" target="_blank">Wiki,</a> there is no evidence that this question was ever a serious topic of study by medieval scholasticists. The allegation first appeared in writings by Protestant authors in 17th century as part of an effort to disparage major pre-Enlightenment philosophers and theorists. At most it was used as a debating exercise, but there is little evidence that the question was ever posed in the first place.
You&#039;re missing an &quot;H&quot; in <i>teh ouse Science Committee.</i> But I do appreciate the Icanhazcheezburger spelling of &quot;teh&quot; because Internet kitties.

FTFY
Yr Wonkette is Rachel&#039;s guilty pleasure .... kinda like the Scarlet Letter is for the fundigelicals.
And when he rolls his eyes, you know he&#039;s not taking you seriously.
A distinct improvement over the fundies&#039; tinfoil hats.
Trouble ahead, trouble behind.

Anton Scalia on line one, with a prepared 24 hour talk
Go Pope Evolution! Now the Christian fundies can get back to Catholic bashing and leave us secularists alone.

Well known fact that Catlicks aren&#039;t Christian - they are all in league with the Devil. Otherwise why would they deny Genesis?

If there were such a thing as Wingnut atheists, this would be the time when they would ask, &quot;Where was God in Benghazi?&quot;
