Leading Cardinal Redefines Church's View on Evolution

A followup article by Cornelia Dean and Laurie Goodstein in the New York Times regarding the op-ed piece by the Archbishop of Vienna tries to confuse the Catholic church's official postion on Darwinism. The headline reveals the bias of the article.

The writers assert, right from the talking points of Darwinists, that "Darwinian evolution is the foundation of modern biology. While researchers may debate details of how the mechanism of evolution plays out, there is no credible scientific challenge to the underlying theory."

A question; why must a researcher believe in Darwinism to do practical scientific reasearch? Unless, of course, he is a professor who is specifically trying to advance the Darwinian paradigm.

The article goes on to give examples of Christians who hold to theistic evolution, such as, Dr. Kenneth Miller. Miller said he was already hearing from people worried about the cardinal's essay. "People are saying, does the church really believe this?"

Well, a recent Harris poll shows that around 10 percent of people believe in Darwinism in the U.S., so the vast majority of Americans are really not shaking their heads, wondering why the church doesn't hold to Darwinism.
