, Pope John Paul’s declaration that evoiutlon is no longer a mere hypothesis is a fundamental church teaching which advances the evoiutlonary debate .Intelligent Design is not science, invented to avoid the overwhelming evidence for purpose and design found in modern science. Archbishop Gianfranco Ravasi, head of the Church's Pontifical Council for Culture said, the Church had never formally condemned Darwin, in the last 50 years a number of Popes had accepted evoiutlon as a valid scientific approach to human development. Evolution could be traced back through Scholastics such as St. Thomas Aquinas to St Augustine in the fourth century. Although I seriously doubt the history of this latter claim, it is interesting to note the Catholic Church has done more to embrace science than previous generations, and certainly more than narrow-minded fundamentalist sects.
