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.
I am making the argument that if you say ‘accepting evolution means one doesn't believe the Bible’ you are saying the Pope doesn't believe the Bible.
That is reducing your argument to the absurd, not making an appeal to authority.
As I have previously stated - Creationists seem incapable of making an argument about a scientific theory without arguing against atheism and/or condemning those who don't believe the same as they do to Hell.
So far the myriad personal attacks against me have focused on attacking my religious beliefs, saying I only claim to be a Christian, saying that I don't believe the Bible, and that for accepting evolution I prefer nothingness to submission to the Lord and Hell awaits me.
Do you think the Pope is a Christian?
Why are you so afraid to answer?
Does it feel ridiculous to claim the Pope isn't REALLY a Christian? It should.
In a word, No, I'm not.
********************************
Why would you be? It's illogical. Might someone who is not Catholic find what a Pope says to be illuminating, to be a convincing argument? I don't see why not, but there is certainly no obligation. But again, this discussion is continuing its divergence from the original subject.
