The Catholic Church, in fact, strongly advocates evolution as the real way in which species originated, Pope Benedict XVI saying "According to the widely accepted scientific account, the universe erupted 15 billion years ago in an explosion called the 'Big Bang' and has been expanding and cooling ever since. Later there gradually emerged the conditions necessary for the formation of atoms, still later the condensation of galaxies and stars, and about 10 billion years later the formation of planets. In our own solar system and on earth (formed about 4.5 billion years ago), the conditions have been favorable to the emergence of life. While there is little consensus among scientists about how the origin of this first microscopic life is to be explained, there is general agreement among them that the first organism dwelt on this planet about 3.5–4 billion years ago. Since it has been demonstrated that all living organisms on earth are genetically related, it is virtually certain that all living organisms have descended from this first organism. Converging evidence from many studies in the physical and biological sciences furnishes mounting support for some theory of evolution to account for the development and diversification of life on earth, while controversy continues over the pace and mechanisms of evolution."

:Did the majority of scientists prove evolution to be a valid and undeniable fact? If so, then all of our articles have to be changed to reflect it. If it's not a fact, then this website will show it. [[User:Karajou|Karajou]] 12:25, 8 November 2011 (EST)

::::The article says "most prominent and vocal advocates" and gives a footnote. Did you read the footnote? If not, why not? You certainly didn't cite its information. Also, how vocal was that Pope on this issue? Was that Pope always pushing evolutionism? Next, atheists have a reputation for [[Aheism and women|being quarrelsome, socially challenged men]]. Are you an atheist? I ask because it seems you are being quarrelsome. Also, if you are an atheist, do you have have any proof and evidence that atheism is true? The Bible Christianity certainly has an [[Christian apologetics|abundant amount of evidence supporting it.]] Anyways, we all know that [[evolution|evolutionism is a false ideology and there is no evidence supporting it]]. It is just window dressing for wanting to rebel against biblical authority. Plus, the [[Question evolution! campaign]] is going to make it very difficult to propagate evolutionism.
