Catholic Church and evolution
For some reason, the posters at FTT don't believe that the Catholic Church accepts evolution as a fact. Since there are more people in this forum, I will ask, does the Catholic Church accept evolution?

I also want to add that I know some of the theists from FTT like to look for my posts here.
This is interesting.
Btw, you have exactly 999 posts.
When pope John Paul was running things the church was fully behind evolution saying god gave the initial spark. Now, pope BeneDICK is running the show his statements show a lean towards intellibent design. So the official church stance may change.
Sure is strange how these infallible guys disagree a lot, huh?
As of now, the church backs evolution, we'll see if it changes. One of the biggest defense of the catholic church is that they do not believe the bible to be the literal word of god, but more of stories that show the relationship between people and god. Of course, this stems from the new testament and jesus. The thing about the catholic church is it is a very hierchical system. If the pope says, evolution is dead, the catholics will automatically switch gears adn support ID. It would be interesting to me to see hard core catholics be able to do that especially the ones that are practicing sceintists. The pope essentially calls the shots.
I just don't understand how you can a have a religion that is based on judaism (and also other pagan religions) and write a new book then claim that the roots of that said religion are not true (ie the old testament). Logically, I would think it would invalidate the religion once we realize that we were not made from dirt. I do tend to claim that fundamentalist protestants are the true believers....at least they stick to their guns.

I still say that the Doctrine of Papal infallability could be a great thing - imagine if there'd be a pope that became an atheist! It could happen - look at all the fundies who did. Then all Catholics would be required to believe there is no god.

lol! I'm not sure about most of the world but that Catholics in England are mostly intellectually independent from the Church. It's a matter of:
"I'll trust you with mystical things I don't really know about but if you start being silly and condemning condoms, pre-marital sex and evolution then I'm not going to follow you in that!"
