Pope acknowledges Big Bang was the result of God

[The King]

"In the beginning, God created the heavans and the earth..."

How? Who knows? None of us were there. It could have started with a bang. I'm not losing sleep over it either way.

Agreed.

God set the processes of Creation in motion, as recorded in Genesis. The working out of those processes is the province of science.

I think that I can agree with this. There needs to be a verse in the bible that says "And God said..."Let it Bang...""

There are some flaws in that logic, but when is there not a flaw in any logic?

The Catholic Church no longer teaches creationism -- the belief that God created the world in six days as described in the Bible -- and says that the account in the book of Genesis is an allegory for the way God created the world.

Is this really true?

What other denomination teach 6 day creation is an allegory?

No hope in the pope, just because he said doesn't mean a thing.

1 Corinthians 3:19
19. For the wisdom of this world is foolishness in God’s sight.

So in that case, everything that man knows or thinks he knows about religion and God is foolish in Gods eyes.

Wrong.

Paul's quoted verse above is spot on because God is not of this world or limited by this world. Wisdom of worldly things, i.e. the material things, upon which some men place the highest importance is of no consequence to God.

The King is like the twizzlers of bible verses.

[The King]

I didn't post the above verse, I simply read and understood it.

Well tell the pope to go ahead an present his multiple PHDs in all the fields he would need to be qualified to make this statement, and I'll consider his point of view.

Well, let's look at it this way..............The pope is agreeing with a bunch of people that have PhD's that The Big Bang occured, contrast to a bunch of people that have bachelors, masters, and doctorates in subjects that nobody in written history can prove to be true, much-less remotely possible.

The current pope was also a Jew hating Nazi, so what he thinks about anything should be irrelevant.
