Mammuthus,
Your quote in message 77 is this: "Why should scientists care what the Catholic church advocates or does not advocate?"
To answer your question I would say that few should and even fewer care. However, someone suggested that the Catholic church did support evolution. They cited the Pope's famous adress to the Papal Academy of Sciences as evidence for this. Now ofcoarse, the Pope, evolutionists, even scientific creationists all agree that evolution occurs. Scientific creationists differ when it comes to macro-evolution. The Pope would also be against this. Yes the pope supports evolution, but I feel it is misleading to not say what that evolution is. The Pope and the Roman Church would favor the Biblical account of Creation.
Who cares? You dont have to. I was merely correcting another responder's statement.
