Re: The Bible Versus Evolution: Fairy Tales vs. Facts

The fable in the Bible describes how an ET (YHWH ELOHIM)
sculpted all life out of mud and made them alive by blowing
air into their noses.

Intelligent people look at Nature instead of ancient fables
and recognize how life evolves throughout the Universe.

(FROM THE ARTICLE:)
'The Rev. Jose Gabriel Funes, the Jesuit director of the Vatican 
Observatory, was quoted as saying the vastness of the universe means it 
is possible there could be other forms of life outside Earth, even 
intelligent ones.
"How can we rule out that life may have developed elsewhere?" Funes 
said. "Just as we consider earthly creatures as 'a brother,' and 
'sister,' why should we not talk about an 'extraterrestrial brother'? It 
would still be part of creation."
In the interview by the Vatican newspaper L'Osservatore Romano, Funes 
said that such a notion "doesn't contradict our faith" because aliens 
would still be God's creatures. Ruling out the existence of aliens would 
be like "putting limits" on God's creative freedom, he said.
The interview, headlined "The extraterrestrial is my brother," covered a 
variety of topics including the relation****p between the Roman Catholic 
Church and science, and the theological implications of the existence of 
alien life.
Funes said science, especially astronomy, does not contradict religion, 
touching on a theme of Pope Benedict XVI, who has made exploring the 
relation****p between faith and reason a key aspect of his papacy.
The Bible "is not a science book," Funes said, adding that he believes 
the Big Bang theory is the most "reasonable" explanation for the 
creation of the universe. The theory says the universe began billions of 
years ago in the explosion of a single, super-dense point that contained 
all matter.'
