LOL. Give us a list.
I’m not summarizing what every scientific journal of repute has been saying for decades and that is confirmed over and over again in research to answer a creationist pseudo scientific argument that for some reason has proliferated in a Church where a saint declared evolution was pretty much confirmed. If you can’t reconcile Darwin with your faith that’s on you.
 
Macroevolution, universal common descent does not happen.
According to you and your pseudo scientific arguments. Why does it trouble your faith so much?

By the way, does anyone cite Talk Origins anymore?

Interesting how the vast majority of links and papers I cite are from mainstream science itself. These are pseudoscience? Interesting…

It does not trouble my faith. God could have set it up any way He wanted. The question we should all be interested in is how He did it? Modern science in the last few decades have found such complexity to make macroevolution untenable. The top evo’s are trying to deal with this as we speak.
 
Yes the old conspiracy amongst those anti religious bigots who want to hide the evidence of intelligent design.
You said it not me. Need I play the clip of them dealing with the obvious and exclaiming they must exclude God.
 
By the way did you ever see that old Futurama clip on evolution?
Yes I have.

The Pope should get current. Even the big bang is being doubted by science since observations are not lining up. What we can agree on is there was a beginning.

Students should be aware their textbooks are out of date and science is provisional.
 
It is not an issue of gotcha. It is an issue of what really happened.
And all the science points towards macro evolution. Again, this is fully reconcilable with Catholic dogma. Why Catholics hold onto Protestant originated pseudo science is beyond me. We’ve been the home to many great scientists. It feels like we’re tarnishing their memory when we dispute facts.
 
See this is what it comes down to. As I asked near the beginning of our exchange, why does it bother your faith?

St John Paul II said evolution is pretty much confirmed. Are you 1. saying he was wrong and 2. saying he taught error?

Could you answer my question, honestly this time, why it bothers your faith so much? Then I’ll answer yours.
