Vatican hosts Darwin conference

Simple answer to this ridiculous Darwin Theroy..I haven't seen a ape or a fish turn into a human being yet..
If it is true we come from apes..have the apes decided that it wasn't worth it becoming humans and the rest remained apes?Ridiculous right? Well, so is the Darwin theroy..Satan will do anything to take our mind of the real Creator of human species.

If you read the Bible and compare what Darwin has written..the Bible is much more believable.

I have always believed that God evolved us. He created the earth in 7 days, sure, but 7 of HIS days--and who knows how long those could be? Same with us. God is a scientist, look at what He created, it's perfect and seamless until we mess with it then it heals itself. It makes sense that we evolved rather than arriving as we are now. The Genesis account was written by men for people who would never understand the concept of evolution--it was tailored to the times.

I don't know what to say in this case, I watched BBC and Cardinal William Levada(Head of the Vatican's Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith), and he said differently on his comment that the Catholic Church does not stand in the way of scientific realities like evolution, though he described as "absurd" the atheist notion that evolution proves there is no God. Whatever, let us see the outcome.

An absolute aim of Science is to find the truth. It may be in the path of Darwin or Vertican, but the main necessity is rational and realistic approach for deriving the truth be perception of reality. The findings are not the destination, rather a journey for realising the truth in a better as well as greater way! Thanks for this nice posting and have a good day!

they might have a Dan Brown conference soon. Lolz. This is exciting.

I happen to like to think of things a little differently than most.

If a god created humans did he have to do it instantaniously Or could he have been like a sculptor continually molding the clay with each sucessive generation until he reached his final product? That would then work with Darwins theory.

Thinking like that allows science to explain the how & religiion to explain the why.

People always want to take the bible ( a book written & edited repeatidly by faliable men ) too literally. Who determined how long gods days would have been? How could he have created the earth on the first day when a DAY is one full rotation of the earth? There was no measure of time at that point. Heck god could be sitting on some planet off in the middle of some distant galexy that rotates once every billion years. Would that not then be considered a DAY to him?

Oh lets not forget at one time the church swore up & down that the Earth was the center of the universe & was more than happy to torture or execute anyone who disputed it. Glad we got that out of the way before we launched the first rockets.

So will they officially announce that the story of Adam and Eve is just that, a creation story or myth, as has been known by thinking men for centuries?

That's very interesting. I would love to attend that conference. I'm particularly interested in this:

"A leading American scholar of biology, Prof Francisco Ayala, plans to tell the conference that the so-called theory of intelligent design, proposed by Creationists, is flawed.

"The design of organisms is not what would be expected from an intelligent engineer, but imperfect and worse," he said.

"Defects, dysfunctions, oddities, waste and cruelty pervade the living world". "

Well you know my view, i don't believe that the bible and evolution is counter each other, But Darwinism is wrong.

that gives it! i salute the vatican for the two beliefs: that of darwin and that of the bible really is only one. darwin's millions of years' evolution is called day 1, day 2 up to day 7 in genesis. the thought that not a lot people would appreciate this conference and the vatican still chose to have it makes me believe that they are really the chosen ones there. bravery is not only what kept our faith alive. ingenuity as well.
