Pope Francis XVI speaks at the Catholic Academy of Sciences (which is a real thing and do real science). The Catholic church wants to come across as more pro-science than before, but end up just being more God of the gaps. There's gems like this:
“He created human beings and let them develop according to the internal laws that he gave to each one so they would reach their fulfilment." and “Evolution in nature is not inconsistent with the notion of creation, because evolution requires the creation of beings that evolve.”
So God created us but didn't? This is just nonsense. The ramblings of a madman.
On the Big Bang:
“The Big Bang, which today we hold to be the origin of the world, does not contradict the intervention of the divine creator but, rather, requires it.
erm... no. Because why? Because I guy in a funny hat said so? Yeah, that must be it.
So it's a slight development from the last (dum ass) pope. But an idiot is still an idiot even if you're able to find somebody even more stupid. I think that's my take away from this.
