I see the Pope’s doing the old bait and switch again. He tells a bunch of academics that science cannot understand the mystery of man, thereby implying that his religion can. And, I note, displays breathtaking ignorance while he’s doing it:
Contrary to the Darwinian concept of man, Pope Benedict said that “man is not the result of mere chance, of converging circumstances, of determinism, of chemical inter-reactions.”
Ah, the old canard that evolution is simply "mere chance" again. Really, the Pope ought to understand a subject a little better before he pontificates on it. Ophelia has more.
