Pope Gives Evolution a Big Banging

"B-But God came up with evolution. That's how the Bible that I already believe is right anyway can still be right!" -what the Pope's words actually mean.
"B-But Santa Claus can stop time. That's how he can deliver all the presents in one night!" -the average four year old.
My favorite part of The Young Turks' reply to this was that (paraphrasing here) obviously this is religion contorting itself so that science fits into dogma.
Luke: You don't believe in the Force, do you?
Han Solo: Kid, I've flown from one side of this galaxy to the other, and I've seen a lot of strange stuff, but I've never seen *anything* to make me believe that there's one all-powerful Force controlling everything. 'Cause no mystical energy field controls *my* destiny. It's all a lot of simple tricks and nonsense.

By having a policy of priestly celibacy, I'm thinking the catholics are breeding out whatever genetic component there might be in what makes a man think joining the priesthood is a good idea

at least people are finding out science always triumphs.

This isn't news -- the Catholic Church has accepted evolutionary theory for years, and BB theory was conceived by LeMaitre ... a Catholic priest.
If you're going after the Catholic Church, aim at the molestation.

Reality always triumphs, science - humanity's best efforts to ride reality's coat tails - does not.

still better being a ignorant person these days.
better to look and sound educated than a god loving
dim wit with no critical thinking skills.

Well, the RCC has figured out a long time ago that saying reality is wrong doesn't get RCC too far with many constituencies vital to RCC. But Christianity is such a piece of shit to start with, and so hard to be made to even just appear to Not conflict too badly with just a few of the noteworthy points of reality, that it has taken them this long to come up with some minimally serviceable props for their smoke and mirror show.

the reason i couldn't take Christianity seriously was the fact how it was written and the gaps were to far apart. The writers for one didn't personally know jesus so how would they know he did said tricks etc. the whole religion if people threw away the parts added it wouldn't be much and it would probably depict jesus being a normal average joe who knew how to play tricks making it seem like a miracle.

If Christianity had not a single one of the fault you mentioned, it would still not be a millimeter closer to believability.
The fact that I might find 12 people who manifestly knew Sarah Palin who might testify Sarah Palin's cunt is lined with stained yellow teeth is such a trivially piece of evidence next to the extraordinariness of the claim that the claim gains not noticeable credibility from it.

also what kills it is that people who follow the religion it should have stayed over their in that general area in the middle east. but how did it spread if the bible was created in that area and there was no other world and on that place. magic isn't going to put a band-aid on this.
