The Pope is a Christian, and he accepts the theory of evolution. Would you claim that he also doesn’t believe in the Bible that God wrote? Do you think the Pope isn’t a Christian?

That wasn’t an answer to the question.

It was a red herring.

The Pope is a Christian, and he accepts the theory of evolution.

A few problems with that line of reasoning.

First is that I really don't care what the pope thinks about the ToE.

Second, and more importantly, your continual claim of that implies that the pope thinks as YOU do about the ToE and agrees with you on the topic. I highly doubt that unless you can provide some cites and links to statements by the popes showing such.

Now, appealing to authority has always been scorned and dissed by evos when creationists do it and yet, here you are appealing to authority as if by doing so, just because the pope believes something, I am obligated to as well.

In a word, No, I'm not.
