Time to post this again, from Pope Benedict:

“Pope Benedict XVI recently restated his (and Pope John Paul’s) argument. As MSNBC reported, Pope Benedict has referred to the debate between creationists and supporters of evolutionary theory as an “absurdity”:

“They are presented as alternatives that exclude each other,” the pope said. “This clash is an absurdity because on one hand there is much scientific proof in favor of evolution, which appears as a reality that we must see and which enriches our understanding of life and being as such.”
On the other hand, there are certain questions that evolutionary theory can never answer: “Above all it does not answer the great philosophical question, ‘Where does everything come from?’” Christians, thus, can learn truth from science, but scientists must learn to accept the limits of their own work. No scientific investigation can ever prove that God does not exist, or that He did not create the world, or even that man is only the sum of his physical parts.”
