people prefer mysticism and faith to fact and science wads - 11/04/2004 10:41:41 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 have no problems with that, the main problem that I have is when people try to use science to support their views or to silence evolution. Believing in god is an act of faith, those who try to prove otherwise are merely showing their LACK OF FAITH.
