I started this thread also to clarify the official position of the Roman Catholic Church.
Pope Ratzinger defends theistic evolution, the reconciliation between science and religion already held by Catholics. In discussing evolution, he writes that "The process itself is rational despite the mistakes and confusion as it goes through a narrow corridor choosing a few positive mutations and using low probability.... This ... inevitably leads to a question that goes beyond science.... Where did this rationality come from?" to which he answers that it comes from the "creative reason" of God.
Well..through this twisted speech actually he confirms that most genetic mutations are random and negative, so all the living beings evolve through adaptation (narrow corridor).
The conclusion has a very ambiguous implication: he defines the process rational...even if his premise tells clearly that it deals with something spontaneous and chaotic....certainly creative...but not rational.
There is no doubt the Vatican bowed to Darwinism. The Anglican Church did too.
What about Protestants?
