Catholic Church Sides with Science

Although not an "official" position, the Vatican newspaper, L'Osservatore Romano, has published an article written by biology professor Fiorenzo Facchini in which he states that intelligent design is "...not how science is done."

Rev. George Coyne, head of the Vatican Observatory, says that, "Intelligent design isn't science, even though it pretends to be."

Though I realize that they have myriad other issues that they are totally backward on, I have always commended the Catholic Church for their willingness to think reasonably when presented with overwhelming evidence contrary to established church canon. This is no exception. I just wish the born-agains would get their act together.
