The bible teaches us that God created the heavens and the earth. After all he does not just spend his day his days crafting divine retributions, he dabbles in science as well.
I believe science is God's gift for us to use wisely. Apparently and finally, so does the Vatican.
The doors opened in 1992, when Pope John Paul II finally acknowledged that “we may have been hasty in our original condemnation of Galileo for heresy.” (http://www.dslnorthwest.net/~danwilcox/galileo.html ) It took the Vatican almost 360 years to concede that he was correct and that in fact, yes the earth is round. (So I don’t give up hope that the church will come around on understanding the difference between pedophilia and homosexuality.)
Today, the holy powers concedes that science is our friend. So dear fellow Catholics, seek invitro fertilization if needed, take medications daily, use condoms, and eat Splenda. These and the entire universe are God’s gift to us. Just remember to say thank you.
Vatican: Faithful Should Listen to Science
