Steady State

The very phrase "Big Bang" was coined by Fred Hoyle to ridicule the position of, among other people, the Pope.

In the 1940s.

    Surprised he has contradicted Benedict XVI's support for Intelligent Design.

    Francis is simply wrong on this. Evolution by natural selection is incompatible with the notion of a designer (if you understand what natural selection means).

    On that, Richard Dawkins is right.

    As Cardinal Schoenborn himself wrote in 2005 of the Peope's view: “Evolution in the sense of common ancestry might be true, but evolution in the neo-Darwinian sense – an unguided, unplanned process – is not".

    Francis is obviously not a biologist, but he needs to read what evolution is, if he thinks it's compatible with creation.

    It is not.

      From the first line on, you are out of your depth.

      Intelligent Design, which Benedict most certainly did not endorse, is Deism, and has been concocted by scientists and lawyers of the kind too arrogant to ask these questions of the kind of clergy who are appointed to parishes full of scientists and lawyers.

      Those clergy would have put them right.
