re: #107 sattv4u2

I went to a church affiliated school and never got any of that creationist stuff taught

Catholic school here ,, grades 1-12. Never once was creationism mentioned in any class, esp. science or history

The Catholic church has never had issues with evolution, as far as I’m aware. Objections to it, and creationism, are uniquely Protestant issues, further confined to evangelical Baptist branches.

Genetics, in fact, has it’s origins with Gregor Mendel, a Catholic priest. Darwin wasn’t aware of Mendel’s work, but when it was published it was a huge pillar of support for evolution.
