The Cardinal explains this, " Any system of thought that denies or seeks to explain away the overwhelming evidence for design in biology is ideology, not science.”
in the traditional Catholic way, "Science studies what is observable and scientists overstep the boundaries of their discipline when they conclude evolution proves there was no creator"
Science is not equipped to find or disprove a designer and it is obvious the good Cardinal understands this.
Unfortunately Richard Sternberg didn't. The man abused his position and cheated in order to insert his secterian views into a science journal. People like this do the cause of Christ harm.
Why do you say that, in view of the following information from the article:
But Sternberg followed the procedure perfectly. He discussed publication with a fellow scientist at the Smithsonian, and before publication he had the article peer-reviewed by three molecular and evolutionary biologists — all with doctoral degrees.
Unless his position description specifically said, "You will not accept any articles that challenge Darwinian orthodoxy in any way," it appears to that he acted appropriately to the position.
I thought he merely published an article written by someone else with which he didn't even necessarily agree.
People like this do the cause of Christ harm.
Apparently J*sus only wants intellecutals to follow him. Did all those millions of illiterate peasants who belonged to your Church in the Middle Ages realize what a disgrace to "the cause of Chr*st" they were?
