An honest Darwinist should not say kiddush.
a neat juxtaposition for you ...
"A sophisticated debate about Darwinian evolution is going on at the topmost levels of the Catholic Church."
Got to be kidding me...is this the same CAtholic Church that ruled recently that they were wrong about limbo. Looks like all that "sophisticated debate" didn't provide many answers there!
Could I get a copy of that list of discoveries the Discovery Institute has made? Anybody?
Well, no, unless I missed it the Catholic Church has not yet ruled on Limbo.
The idea of worshiping a God so incompetent that he has to keep nudging his creation to get it to perform up to specs is preposterous.
It makes him sound as incompetent as a pool player who has to hustle around the table nudging the ball to make a triple bank shot.

I stand corrected....they hope to rule on the same any time soon (http://www.latimes.com/news/printedition/california/la-ed-limbo13feb13,0,2215882.story?coll=la-headlines-pe-california)
I would welcome the Jews into this debate.

They have discovered that an enormous number of scientists practice their craft so badly they should be sued for malpractice, at best, but better, quackery.
So, D.I. has discovered that the reason scientists are so bad at teaching science is that it is actually NOT science, but instead of form of evangelism. Thus, Secular Darwinian Scientists are merely priests for the philosophy known as scientific materialism, and they are adroitly deceptive about the fact they are preachers first, seekers of 'knowledge' second.
If I were a secular scientist, I would appreciate very much the encouragement, the goad, provided by those heretics who are mal-appropriating MY word "science" for their nefarious ends (hurting my cash-cow grant machine, for example). Such prodding will only shorten that length of time by which evolutionary scientists will finally be able to show the crazy creationists just how air tight the T.o.E is .... really.
That's one view. Mine differs: I find in Scripture that God intervenes in history because He loves us -- not because He forgot to put the right English on us.
"So why should you care? Because Darwinism, if accepted, makes any meaningful Judaism intellectually untenable."
Oh BS. This is supposedly a new realization? Where was this guy and this objection for the past 100 years?
Obviously you haven't played for $5 a ball, or $1 a ball, even.
The media always tries to make mischief for the Church on these issues. I have no idea what Pope Benedict will actually decide.
Off the top of my head, I don't think it was a burning issue. Why not just leave it alone? There are plenty of more urgent concerns at the moment.
Evolution is directed just like weather is directed. If you believe it, you believe it. If you don't, you don't. There's no objective evidence one way or another.
Well, maybe sophisticated is the wrong word. But surely you would not deny the Jews their shot at understanding. After all, Jesus started his logic from the Jewish postulates.

And they discovered this by their original science which has been peer reviewed and published where? Anywhere?
Now you'll claim a big conspiracy theory prevented the publication. Right.

I simply do not understand posts like this.
Why are you so bitterly anti-science?
Is it for religious reasons, that you just don't like the answers science finds, or is there some deep-seated personal animosity?
Most of the folks on FR who disagree with evolution at least provide reasons for their beliefs, but you seem to be genuinely anti-science.
