"The fundamentalists want to give a scientific meaning to words that had no scientific aim," he said at a Vatican press conference. He said the real message in Genesis was that "the universe didn't make itself and had a creator".
This idea was part of theology, Cardinal Poupard emphasised, while the precise details of how creation and the development of the species came about belonged to a different realm - science. Cardinal Poupard said that it was important for Catholic believers to know how science saw things so as to "understand things better."
Amen!

Science and religion aren't the same thing, such an epiphany.

Yeah, but this is the same group of people that waited 400 years before apologizing for their dissing Galileo. At least they responded a bit quicker this time.
-
I guess they get a few points for improving their rapid response time.
-S

They lose those points for thinking anyone gives a crap what they say about anything anymore.
It is nice, though, to see that some of them took a break from raping little boys long enough to write up a press release.

Sadly enough, a shocking number of people still do seem to give a crap. I don't get it myself. I only come here for the cheesecake.

GOD created everything.

The 1% thats good is Mameism...where God is a giant yellow ball with eyes and a jaw only wants the world to reproduce icons in his image and continue to worship him by dropping silver disc into the magical podium of fun.

Count me out. I can barely manage the one wife I have now. ;)

but wouldn't that mean you need to ask 12 or more time for permission to buy new power tools?
Back on topic. At least someone at the Vatican finally took a realistic stance on something.

I took a dozen wives last week.
I wasn't married to any of them, though.
-

Nope. Just claim one of the others said you could do it.

Wait. The other shoe will drop and it'll be meaningless.

Catfight!

Like if you had to put up with 12 wives you'd have time for power tools.
-
With 12 wives you'd DEPEND on power tools.
Wait, would they be considered power tools if they run on batteries???
-
With 12 wives I'd just get my own job done and leave the room.
-
And have 11 women chasing you.
Or 12.
:angel:
-
Please... think of how sex goes away after marriage... now think about how it goes away 12 times.
-
Never thought about it that way.
Wow.
Thats kinda depressing.
Those poor mormons.
-
Like Mormons are highly sexed party machines to begin with.
WTF, they're Mormons!
-
It just occured to me that the vatican rejects intelligent everything.
**rimshot sound effect goes here**
Not that kind of rimshot, you pervs. No wait, we were talking about the vatican, so maybe it was that kind of rimshot.

There have always been rumors that the lower levels of the Vatican have trillions of dollars in gold and various treasures down there. I wonder how much is really stored there.
-
Don't let 'em fool ya, they actually have 200,000 unsold copies of E.T. for the Atari 2600 stored down there. Street value: $4.12 (USD).
-S
-
Think about it... 2000 years of unchecked pillaging, theft, and con... millions of people around the world send them money for no reason... there could be more money there than in the entire US ecomony.

Tell Bush the Vatican has WMD and we shall invade to free the world of that threat.
Bushy...I'm still waiting for my Iraqi oil...
-
Bush is a Christian.
The Vatican is probably where Bush put OUR wmd.

Bush belongs to one of those Christian groups that was formed by protesting the Catholic church. Besides a Polish Pope disagreed with America for it's wars and baby killing policies. Since we crushed his team in WW2, and we are still killing unborn babies by the thousands, a German Pope would be even less of an ally.

No abortions for oil!
-
Abortions for some, miniature American flags for others!
-S
-
They're miniature crosses.
No matter the actual size, American Flags are always huge.

The upper levels have trillions of dollars in art.

You know they actually distrubited a book at my son's school about intellegent design?
It "the facts about intellegent design"
It was a textbook that pointed out all the flaws in evolution theory.
I had to sign a release form for him to get the "free book".
It was funny.

Yes, because a giant white bearded man in the sky who created everything makes much more sense.
-S
-
Blasphemy! I have no beard. I grew that specifically for the Hellboy costume.
-
Which still makes at least as much sense as "intelligent design".
-S
-
The best argument against intelligent design is that it has led to us.
How ---smurfing--- intelligent could it have been?

Debate. Over. Chad wins!

I didn't even have to use a Fatality.
-
If I were Seph, I'd say something like 'Chad FTW', or maybe 'ur moms', or possibly 'I'll intelligent design in your mouth'. As always, I'm glad I'm not Seph. ;)

One of the Gnostic sects that developed from Taoism suggested that our world was created by some lesser spirits (perhaps angels) because they saw God having so much fun doing it. Because they were not as powerful as God they ended up messing up a whole bunch of things, causing God to have pity on us and sending Jesus to provide us with a gateway out of this flawed reality to the real universe God created.
On a different note, everything I've heard about "Of Pandas And People" suggests it is an excellent textbook. Since it gives such great examples of almost every fallacy of argumentation it makes an excellent primer for Logic courses.

In another blow to the ID movement:
"The York Dispatch is reporting that eight out of the eight incumbent school board members in Dover (All Republicans) have lost their bids for re-election to pro-evolution candidates (All Democrats)."
