Atom and Adam

These represent my views and opinions, they represent only mine, and not that of the Church (Referring to the Catholic Faith, although I would be very happy to direct you to readings of doctrines and dogmas of the Church)

Recent talks have surfaced on matters pertaining to the theory of evolution view the recent findings, And of course that has raised tremendous discourse within the faithful as to their belief in intelligent design and/or creationism and further on ..

Now as we all know when scientist come up with a new theory, they look to the Church to redefine its teachings and all it that entails  to coherently assert their views. Or the Church may feel to renew their statement as to what they have taught in the catechism. Why the Church? Maybe, as the single largest entity of Christian faith with a hierarchical authority. 

Nevertheless, the question is how do you comment on science when your expertise is theology, one is to ask? BINGO....The church, with some expectations as well i believe from its followers, has devoted ample amount of time, since the beginning of , effort, and manpower( yes, there are clergy scientists ) from the beginning of ages on this discourse, and had had a firm stand on God being the creator of All. However the notion of Evolution and Creationism, Pope Benedict recently issued the commentary "are NOT mutually exclusive, rather complementary" and further speaks of inner unity between faith and reason. 

Then there comes the "jenga-ists", fundamentalists often times Christians of other denominations would try to take a shot and pick at comments with lousy attacks such as i quote from Mr Ray Comfort "the Vatican has chosen to officially believe Darwin rather than Jesus.” and i believe for the sad purpose of fame and publicity which i won't judge because after all they are entitled to their opinion. 

Now Here is where the shortcoming sets in!

Who wrote the Bible? 

God IS the sole author, every christian (catholics and protestants alike) MUST believe it, not a choice, a DOGMA at that. It is a sacred book with deep meaning, very coherent at that, easily above and beyond Mankind intellect, and DEFINITELY NOT A COLLECTION OF VERSES WE CAN USE to defend and reject our point. 

THE MERE FACT THAT GOD IS THE SOLE AUTHOR OF THE BIBLE signals that NO MAN will fully and i say fully decipher its contents and if there exist such A MAN , let him be called GOD. We are therefore merely limited to OUR understanding of the Word.

Who created the Earth? 

God, all powerful, all mighty , and all knowing. In the Beginning was God!!!!!! DOGMA as well every christian must believe it, not a choice, HE is the Essences of existence

However ,SIMILARLY THE MERE FACT THAT GOD IS THE SOLE CREATOR OF LIFE Signals that NO SCIENTIST will fully decipher its contents, and understand all the dynamics and its complexities therein and if there exist such A BEING, let him be called GOD. 

Ladies and Gentlemen, OR rather Mr. Ray Comfort and Darwin, let's not pretend to be GOD either in proving or disproving theories, because journeying in such a task entail absolute certainty and not mere speculation, especially on MANKIND thinking, we can however rely on our faith. Faith is therefore not absolute certainty that one is right, its absolute humility and therefore trust and hope in God. 

P.S. And I, as a devout catholic respect the views of the pope, symbolic of humility and wisdom, to know that he is not all knowing! thereby affirming that they are not mutually exclusive.
