Catholic Biologist Again Says Intelligent Design is Not Science
I found this AP article in the Atlanta Journal Constitution while I was looking for something else.
The Vatican newspaper has published an article saying "intelligent design" is not science and that teaching it alongside evolutionary theory in school classrooms only creates confusion.
[Snip]
The author, Fiorenzo Facchini, a professor of evolutionary biology at the University of Bologna, laid out the scientific rationale for Darwin's theory of evolution, saying that in the scientific world, biological evolution "represents the interpretative key of the history of life on Earth."He lamented that certain American "creationists" had brought the debate back to the "dogmatic" 1800s, and said their arguments weren't science but ideology.
"This isn't how science is done," he wrote. "If the model proposed by Darwin is deemed insufficient, one should look for another, but it's not correct from a methodological point of view to take oneself away from the scientific field pretending to do science."
Please read the whole article. It again shows that intelligent religion and modern science are not mutually exclusive. The Vatican newspaper is the L'Osservatore Romano, but I don't have a subscription, so I couldn't read it there. They only let you see the lead article.
