The pope Accepts Evolution: Who the hell cares what he thinks

This is not new, but it is worth commenting on - the pope (lower case imperative) has decided that after myriad years of science and understanding, he is willing to accept that evolution is a true course of nature.

Now, this is wonderful. Just simply wonderful.

A man who has no discourse of any importance in this world, no parsed meaning, no education on the matter and an obviously deluded vision of nature has 'accepted' evolution. And because of that "we" (the general agnostic and or unknowing public that is waiting on every word of the church)

As if his thoughts matter? Why does the 'church' or any denomination feel that once they accept or recognize something, that only then does it become so?

But I ask this one question: If it has taken an uneducated, spiteful, hating man since the late 1800's to recognize evolution based on evidence, reported year after year, month after month, week after week, day after day - science and the study of nature goes on every moment and educated and learned people are devouring their time to try to pry off a small piece of it at a time - where is the evidence for religion? It took just over 100 years for the church to go from burning women because they were suspected witches (to be fair the last 'witch hunt' and innocent burning at the stake took place in the 70's in the religiously led US of A) to accepting evolution; the god and jesus myth has been around for much longer than that, the muslim myth a touch younger (touche), but they have both had much time to try to muster up some e


The people who spend their lives trying to figure out nature have said from time immortal of the evolutionary spectra that it is so, that it works genetically, theoretically, biologically...yet it takes a ghastly man such as this to stand up as the church and say "meh, so it looks ok to me". And the media ate it up. Well, Im not eating.

Evolution, sincerely, is to be taken as truth. No questions. Evolution should not be taken as fact because a useless tramp of a religious leader finally took off his "hatred-hat" and accepted it.

It is incongruous to assume literary or learned status - scientific, electrical, educational, photographical...anything - to a church leader. They purport to act out of a modicum of morality, which in itself has nothing to say about the truths and realities of nature, but in actuality they ac out of the antithesis of morality.

Popey, stay out of the education of the children. Stick to running your dying faith.
