“In fact, the Bible does not concern itself with the details of the physical world, the understanding of which is the competence of human experience and reasoning. There exist two realms of knowledge, one which has its source in Revelation and one which reason can discover by its own power. To the latter belong especially the experimental sciences and philosophy. The distinction between the two realms of knowledge ought not to be understood as opposition. The two realms are not altogether foreign to each other, they have points of contact. The methodologies proper to each make it possible to bring out different aspects of reality.” — Pope John Paul II (L’Osservatore Romano N. 44 (1264) – 4 November 1992)
Maybe this is why so few Catholics fall for Intelligent Design/Creationism as compared to members of certain American religious sects.
