I find it odd that many religious people are still anti-evolution Gavroche - 11/04/2004 06:08:32 PM

Considering that the Pope himself in the 80's/90's (whichever), met with many theoretical physicists during a conference. He OK'd what they said about the universe and its age, and everything, the only thing he said was that they couldn't delve into was the Big Bang since it was the moment of creation.

Since the Pope himself has acknowledged the Big Bang as occuring, and evolution, why do many people persist in ignoring that?


I fall so hard inside the idea of you
it's why, with you, can't say what I mean
wanna stay but I think I'm gettin' outta here
I fall so hard inside the idea of you
