DARWIN'S THEORY OF THE CHRISTIAN FAITH IN ACCORDANCE
Pope John Paul II once supported the theory of evolution with the theory states according to the Christian faith. The statement was welcomed by the scientists are but chances antagonize religious circles.
Papal recognition that evolution is "more than just a theory" contained in his written message conveyed in the siding of the Pontifical Academy of Sciences, a body of experts tasked with providing consideration and input to the Roman Catholic Church on scientific issues.
Vatican's first substantive response to the theory outlined in the encyclical "Humani Generis" (Virtue Man) written in 1950 by pope Pius XII. The encyclical was expressed no objection to discuss the theory of evolution with caution. Therefore, the theory used by the hands of the communists to eliminate God.
Pope, John Paul II, had previously supported the 1950 document. He said the main problem is that "if the human body (body) material derived from pre-existing life, the human soul created by God".
However, the pope also said, "Today, nearly a century after the publication of the encyclical, new knowledge leading to the recognition of the theory of evolution is more than just a hypothesis.
new breakthrough
Although the pope stated clearly that he considers that the human soul as a divine creation, and without going through the process, but the statement was made headlines in Italian newspapers. Pope's statement is a new breakthrough.
"Pope says we may descendants of apes" is written in the conservative daily, Giornale "on the first page, the daily la republica stated, the pope made peace with Darwin.
The theory of evolution in particular found by prominent English naturalist Charles Robert Darwin in the 19th century, until now regarded by the Catholic Church as a serious discussion and valuable, but it remains an open statement.
"The theory was truly remarkable because this theory began to grow from the minds of the researchers after a series of discoveries made by the different fields of science," the pope said.
Darwin's theories and the other evolutionary origin of humans during this forbidden by the theologians, because they see that the theory is at odds with the story of creation in the book of creation and the story of Adam and Eve in the garden of paradise. Most theologians no longer believe that the doctrine of God created the world and humans in his image.
Fudamentalis Christians who respond book by harafia Creation known as "the Creationists" reopen a controversy, especially in the Southern United States.
In Tennessee, where John Scopes (a teacher) once fined 100 dollars for teaching evolution in class, there is a bill that would ban the teaching of evolution as fact. But the bill was just a bit of legislative support, earlier this year. Courts in Tennessea were known as the "Court Apes".
Scientists say there Pope recognition as an important advance, although some of them say, the recognition appears late
