Line 7:
Line 7: − In 1996, Pope [[John Paul II]], speaking in an unfamiliar French, made a statement about the theory of evolution that was translated one way by the official Vatican newspaper, and a different way by supporters of evolution. The newspaper translated the remarks as saying that the theory of evolution is "more than one hypothesis," while [[evolutionists]] translated it as "more than a hypothesis" and refuse to acknowledge the official newspaper translation. The Vatican did not clarify the remarks, and the French phrase is ambiguous in its use of "une".<ref>http://webs.mn.catholic.edu.au/physics/emery/creationism.htm</ref>+ + +

Revision as of 12:58, April 29, 2008
, 12:58, April 29, 2008→Evolution: Partial revert and new information. It was hardly "liberal bias", and it needed a reference. So I went looking, but what I found said something else.
In 1950, [[Pope Pius XII]] forbade the [[theory of evolution]] being taught as true, although said that evidence for and against evolution should be considered.<ref>Keane, 1991, p.170.</ref> In the [[Humani Generis]], the Pope forbade any Catholic from teaching anything contrary to the existence of one [[Adam]] and [[Eve]] as the parents of all mankind, as evolution is commonly taught.

This teaching had not been changed as of 1991.<ref>Keane, 1991, p.177</ref>
Pope [[John Paul II]] said in 1996 that the theory of evolution is "more than a hypothesis" and that "truth cannot contradict truth," meaning that [[science]] and a belief in [[God]] can harmoniously coexist. <ref>http://webs.mn.catholic.edu.au/physics/emery/creationism.htm</ref><ref>This was said in French, and some opponents of evolution argued that the Pope had been mistranslated, and actually said "more than one hypothesis". This translation had the support of the official Vatican newspaper, but that paper later corrected their translation to "more than a hypothesis".
