And at what point exactly did the Pope say it's OK to "believe in evolution"?  Because otherwise that whole part of the post falls apart.  

Well, I "believed in" highwaystar101, he mentioned that. Therefore, I replied. However, that statement, whether true or false, insn't the only one to regret to the Pope, but that's not the topic, here.

Good night.

zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

No, in the quoted post he said nothing of the sort about what the Pope said.  Nothing of what highwaystar101 said about what the Pope said supports what you apparently got out of it.  

About the Christian "bias" if you will. I've never understood the whole evolution/big bang Christian thing anyway. Obviously there are a few problems between the two but I believe it was pope John Paul II who said something like...

"Evolution and the big bang are perfectly compatible theories with Christianity, as long as long as you accept god was the creator then why couldn't evolution and the big bang just be his methods of creation?".

I think that was severely paraphrased as it was from memory, but you get the point. If there is a god then why shouldn't these be his methods of creation? They obviously work, regardless of who or what started it.

He didn't say that the Pope said that the ideas in those theories were something Christians could put faith in, just that the theories did not contradict Christianity.  

Although now that I'm thinking about it, I'm interested in why ... no, no, I think it's best to avoid expanding this.   

Kind of messed, don't you think?

- highwaystar101 indeed quoted the Pope.

- The Pope said that both elements in discussion, here, are compatible.

- I criticized what the Pope said.

That's it.

I don't think that you and me should actually argue on that, mate. Maybe you didn't understand or I explained something not the best way at some point.

I must leave, now.

Good night.
