pssst: the catholic church has been on board with evolution and the big bang for awhile now

I think we're over the half century mark for the Big Bang Theory.

[Kidlicious]

Guided evolution doesn't even qualify as pseudo science. It nonsense.

[Imran Siddiqui]

Actually the last pope muddied it a bit by trying to leave room for intelligent design.

It depends on what you believe to be "intelligent design". Guided evolution is not the same thing as the folks trying to do pseudo-scientific explanations.

[kentonio]

They in this case not including Ben, who has on many occasions tried to claim evolution isn't true. Then again he is a ****** of course.

[Kidlicious]

They basically believe what everyone else does. You know, when in Rome ...

Pope Francis: Big Bang and evolution confirm God exists

Pope Francis has said he believes in the Big Bang theory.

The pontiff also said that the scientific account of the beginning of the universe confirms God's existence.

At a meeting of the Vatican's Pontifical Academy for Sciences, he said that evolution was compatible with God's plan.

He said though the first book of the Bible, Genesis, might suggest God was a "magician with a magic wand able to do everything," that this "is not so".

Instead he claimed that God "created human beings and let them develop according to the internal laws that he gave to each one so they would reach their fulfilment," reported the Religious News Service.

He added: "Evolution in nature is not inconsistent with the notion of creation, because evolution requires the creation of beings that evolve."

So Ben, are you going to stop pretending evolution doesn't exist now your leader has told you to stop being a moron?

Why did God evict Adam and Eve from the Garden?

The Garden is only for His servants.

[Berzerker]

Why did God evict Adam and Eve from the Garden?

[Kidlicious]

The fig leaves represent separation from God. Berz, having a family is not a sin. Disobedience, is a sin. It seems stupid, because they just ate a fruit. But they disobeyed. The way the story goes tells us all disobedience is sin, and the wage of sin is death. But He overcame death.

[Berzerker]

The "knowledge" was procreation, that explains the fig leaves, Eve's pain in childbirth, and Cain and Abel... What else is there? What is the knowledge if not sexual? Every bit of symbolism in the story is about procreation.
