Vatican Is Less Fundamentalist Than Left-Wing Secularists And a lot less shrill. It's often surreal to see the tizzy people go into when creationists try to get heard. It can't possibly be ... possible. Because Darwin just has to be true. Except Darwin didn't even believe what he was saying. And he would be downright shocked to see his theory twisted like a pretzel the way it is today. So now, in a twist so bizarre M. Night Shamalyan wants to put it in his next crappy movie, The Vatican is coming out in favor of intellectual tolerance. Cardinal Paul Poupard, who heads the Pontifical Council for Culture, said the faithful should listen to what secular modern science has to offer, warning that religion risks turning into "fundamentalism" if it ignores scientific reason. Sounds okay to me. But try getting the opposite point made at the Democratic Convention circa 2008. They'll tell you how stupid you are and quote something pithy and condescending from Nietszche. And then make you get an abortion. I am willing to believe Darwinism at almost any time, when I see some proof. That's why it's still the Theory of Evolution and not a Law. We have fossils from every stage of mankind except that important missing link showing macro-evolution. Sorry guys. That ain't science. The Cardinal wasn't all sweetness and light about science as an end to itself. "We know where scientific reason can end up by itself: the atomic bomb and the possibility of cloning human beings are fruit of a reason that wants to free itself from every ethical or religious link," he said.
