It’s clear that you will, *a priori, *reject any scientific proof regardless of its merit if it proves a fact that contradicts your creationist ideology. Hence, I would be wasting my time by presenting the argument for heliocentrism. Furthermore, I never imagined I would be arguing against geocentrism in the 21st century. Such a discussion would be no more productive than discussing science with someone raised in and indoctrinated by a pre-scientific culture. The one thing that you have convinced me of is that dinosaurs still exist in the 21st century.
If anyone in the Vatican in modern times advocated geocentrism they would think the poor cleric had gone off his rocker.
You arbitrarily dismiss Big Bang theory despite its very good supporting scientific evidence. However, Catholics should welcome Big bang theory, not just because the theory originated with a Catholic priest,
Monsignor Georges Henri Joseph Édouard Lemaître, or that it was enthusiastically promoted by Pope Pius XII, or that Catholic Thomists
have no problem with the theory , but because there is
good scientific evidence to support the theory.
Furthermore, you arbitrarily dismiss evolution theory since it contradicts your creationist ideology. Creationists fantasize that they are representing the mind of the Church or the “enlightened remnant” of the Church on evolution, when they are merely representing their own ideological mind set. However,…
“The Teaching Authority of the Church does not forbid that, in conformity with the present state of human sciences and sacred theology, research and discussions, on the part of men experiences in both fields, take place with regard to the doctrine of evolution, in as far as it inquires into the origin of the human body as coming from pre-existent and living matter—for the Catholic faith obliges us to hold that souls are immediately created by God.” – Pope Pius XII
“Today, almost half a century after publication of the encyclical, new knowledge has led to the recognition of the theory of evolution as more than a hypothesis. It is indeed remarkable that this theory has been progressively accepted by researchers, following a series of discoveries in various fields of knowledge. The convergence, neither sought nor fabricated, of the results of work that was conducted independently is in itself a significant argument in favor of the theory.” – Pope John Paul II
Obviously, Pope John Paul II does not consider evolution to be an impossibility. Neither does the current pope. Nonetheless, you pretend you are wiser and more knowledgeable than these popes. What does one say to that?
