BBC NEWS | Europe | Vatican hosts Darwin conference
Quoted from article(Christian churches were long hostile to Darwin because his theory conflicted with the literal biblical account of creation.)
Be interesting to see how they word there way around Darwin's Theory.
Quote(Yet as recently as 2006 a leading Catholic Cardinal, Christoff Schoenborn, of Vienna, a former student and friend of Pope Benedict XVI caused controversy by saying that Darwin's theory of natural selection was incompatible with Christian belief.
A leading American scholar of biology, Prof Francisco Ayala, plans to tell the conference that the so-called theory of intelligent design, proposed by Creationists, is flawed.
"The design of organisms is not what would be expected from an intelligent engineer, but imperfect and worse," he said.
"Defects, dysfunctions, oddities, waste and cruelty pervade the living world".)
Some of the most dysfunctional organisms seem at the moment to be in charge of the Vatican.
