Pope Francis is the kind of guy that makes me wish I was Catholic (sometimes). Pope Francis came out and said that God didn’t use a magic wand to create man - literally.
.
The Big Bang came from something, God created the something for this all to start.
.
Evolution is a miracle. It is the miracle God uses to create mankind.
.
If I can add one more thought that flows form this – With these miracles, God not only created the world and man, he endowed Mankind with a unique desire to understand the world, the ability to put the world into a spiritual context and to see God in the world. Using evolution, God allowed the creation of a soul.
.
Science and Religion to not have to be at odds. Really, I love this guy!
