Apparently, Pope Francis believes that the theories of the Big Bang and of evolution are real. Or so, Adam Withnall understands, based on an article published by the Independent today.
The Pope was speaking at the Pontifical Academy of Sciences. He said that God is not a magician. He did not create the world by waving a magic wand, unlike the impression that some have from their understanding of Genesis. Instead, God created and gave the system some "internal laws" with which the creation was able to progressively develop.
So evolution and the Big Bang theories describe the progression, and these theories are not inconsistent with what the Bible says about creation.
Would you agree with the Pope's point of view?
Do you think he is just trying to be politically correct? The Catholic church has been historically opposed to scientific views, as it persecuted Galileo for his views. As Catholic schools need to promote the popular culture of science, is the Catholic church putting up hypothesis to make their views consistent?
Are the theories of the Big Bang and evolution even correct? The scientific method can change its present conclusions when more information comes to light, if the extra information correct current views.
Would God reject the present scientific theories? Do the theories limit God, or describe what He has done?
What do you believe? Why?
