Catholic leader causes uproar as he voices support for ‘Big Bang’ theory
“When we read in Genesis the account of creation, we run the risk of imagining that God was a magician with a magic wand able to do everything. But that is not so.”
These words might sound as if they came from some controversial preacher. But they did not. They were spoken by Pope Francis to an audience from the Pontifical Academy of Science Oct. 27, according to Newsweek. In that speech, he officially affirmed that the Catholic Church believes in both evolution and the Big Bang theory, although with the addition of God into the equation.
“The Big Bang that today is considered to be the origin of the world does not contradict the creative intervention of God,” Francis said to his audience. “On the contrary, it requires it.
Francis then went into further detail about exactly how the universe was created. He said creation was not one single event, but that it “went forward for centuries and centuries, millennia and millennia until it became what we know today.”

anymore questions about this pope?
Not one question! But as an outgrowth of his evolutionary faith he also believes extraterrestrials (fallen angels) are our Space Brothers. A further point of interest is the Vaticans truly bizarre (in an occult sense) Christmas creche. It featured a space suited figure standing close beside the creche containing a baby Jesus whose head was covered. Standing in back of the creche was an executioner, a figure from ancient times.
