Pope Francis declares evolution and Big Bang theory are right and God isn t a magician with a magic wand - Europe - World - The Independent

So for all the noobs here who have been arguing the opposite. AAAWWWWWWW! TOO BAD!

Nearly sixty-five years ago, In 1950, Pope Pius XII proclaimed there was no opposition between the theory of evolution and Catholic doctrine. Pope Francis is simply reiterating a long held Catholic position.

I was taught this in Catholic School in 8th Grade, right before we started going over evolution. The Pastor came in and explained that there is no conflict between evolution and Catholicism. Religion is there to explain the why, not the how.

Pope Francis is a breath of fresh air.

“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,” Francis said.

Again, its nothing new.

Good for this Pop and the RC on this issue.

I was in 8th Grade in 1988, so this position has been known since then, and before then.

The theories of evolution and the Big Bang are real and God is not “a magician with a magic wand”, Pope Francis has declared.


Speaking at the Pontifical Academy of Sciences, the Pope made comments which experts said put an end to the “pseudo theories” of creationism and intelligent design

Old news. This Pope is just reaffirming the confirmation of Pope Pius XII.

Early contributions to the development of evolutionary theory were made by Catholic scientists such as Jean-Baptiste Lamarck and the Augustinian monk Gregor Mendel.

For nearly a century, the papacy offered no authoritative pronouncement on Darwin's theories.

In the 1950 encyclical Humani generis, Pope Pius XII confirmed that there is no intrinsic conflict between Christianity and the theory of evolution, provided that Christians believe that the individual soul is a direct creation by God and not the product of purely material forces.

Today, the Church supports theistic evolution(ism), also known as evolutionary creation, although Catholics are free not to believe in any part of evolutionary theory.

Who cares what he says? He is not a Christian, he's a satanist Jessuit who has a bench warrant for his arrest for the paedophile rape of two girls in Argentina - now women who are demanding for his arrest! The man is a criminal and half of Europe must know it by now! You must be kidding! As if this man had a shred of credibility left! Not on your life! He gives new meaning to the term "FALSE PROPHET"!

By these remarks and policies, Bergoglio has not only ordered his followers to break the law but to commit treason in their own countries by violating child protection laws and undermining police agencies. The Pope, in short, is not simply facilitating international child abuse and human trafficking, but is heading a criminal conspiracy against the sovereignty of other states and the law of nations.

Under international law, such actions amount to an act of war; and those responsible are justifiably declared to be an enemy of peace-loving humanity.
Let it be known to the world, therefore, that Jorge Bergoglio, the head of the Church of Rome, is indeed such an enemy of humanity. Accordingly, on Thursday, August 1, 2013, a Bench Warrant Order was issued by the International Common Law Court of Justice in Brussels for the immediate arrest and trial of Jorge Bergoglio for these crimes.

One thing you can say for the RCC, they learned their lesson after Galileo. The person who came up with the BBT was a RC priest and they haven't said that Genesis was word-for-word true at least as long as I've been alive.

 

[Book of Jeremiah]

Quoting a Jessuit Satanist now, Guno? I believe the Jews had your number. You could not be Jewish. Do you realize who it is your quoting? That he has a bench warrant out for his arrest for the paedophile rape of two girls in Argentina now grown women - who are demanding his arrest - while others have filed charges also? Oh yes. Here's "your pope"... A friend of the Jews? I think not. A Jew? Definitely not.

People just don't get the story of Galileo. The Church had no problem with Galileo's theory. The problem was that while admitting it was just a theory (not proven), Galileo wanted the Church to change original Biblical texts so that Bible reflected his theory. The Church said, "No, we're not changing the Bible." And the Church never did.

It appears that once it was proven (after Galileo's death) that the earth did orbit the sun, everyone seemed to forget the actual argument was over the Church changing Biblical texts to reflect Galileo's theory. What say you? Should the Church switch Biblical verses so that the Bible is in accord with Galileo's theory--or, should the Bible remain as originally written?

By the way, in 1950 Pope Pius XII, announced that the theory of evolution was not in opposition to the creation story. Pope Francis is just reiterating what the Catholic position has been for the past 65 years.

No Catholics are Christians according to you so what church do you go to anyway that you think you can tell who is a Christian and who is not?

No they didn't! They told Galileo that all people must go through their religion as a mediator to have a relationship with God. They still insist this lie is true to this very day. What do you think this son of hell - Pope Francis is trying to do right now through his interfaith mafioso plot? He wants to unite a one world religion in which he is King. He's on the fast track to hell and trying to take everyone with him. If you want a relationship with Jesus Christ leave Catholicism - buy a bible and read it until you are saved. Let the Holy Spirit be your teacher - He needs no help and He never gets it wrong! Why? Because He is God! Jesus Christ does not need a Vicar and never asked for one - nor has Jesus Christ EVER appointed one - Pope Francis is a son of hell deceiving the people. Do not listen to a word coming out of that wolf's mouth! If your involved with the Roman Catholic Church? Get out of there fast!!!!!!!!!

Jeri, give objective credible evidence or report yourself to the mods for being very, very foolish.

 

[JakeStarkey]

Below find the craziness of Jeri's source, scannedretina.com and Arnie Rosner.

The fact remains that every piece of legislation since 1862 is null and void. That even the very structure of the government in which the American people have come to believe is also a lie. This includes the executive branch, the judicial branch and yes…especially the legislative branch.

Scripture doesn't need to changed. Genesis is acknowledged as an allegory, just as the parables of Christ aren't to be taken literally, but as moral lessons.

You're an agent of the anti-Christ. Repent before it's too late. The Bible clearly makes Peter the head of Christ's Church. I'll pray for your soul.
