Pope Asserts God Was Absolutely Behind Big Bang in Universe

The Vatican had a busy day, with the Pope moving from news of his new Discovery Channel series on exorcisms from the Vatican files to denouncing the big bang theory of life in our universe as a result of chance.

The Pope rarely talks about science and creation, but today was unyielding in his assertion that “The universe is not the result of chance, as some would want to make us believe.”

“Contemplating it (the universe), we are invited to read something profound into it: the wisdom of the creator, the inexhaustible creativity of God,” said the Pope on the day of the Epiphany.

The Catholic Church no longer teaches creationism — the belief that God created the world in six days as described in the Bible — and says that the account in the book of Genesis is an allegory for the way God created the world. via Reuters

The Vatican doesn’t wish to be seen as anti-science but rejects fundamentalism’s claims that Genesis is accurate and that the world is only as old as stated in the Old Testament. So we’re going to war with the Texas School Board, director of our nation’s textbooks, to teach American kids a theory that even the Vatican rejects.

Accepting creationism is a higher priority than our American children being properly educated in science and math, with the assertion that evolutionary biology does not exist.
