“We believe that however creation has come about and evolved, ultimately God is the creator of all things,” he said.He said that while the Vatican did not exclude any area of science, it did reject as “absurd” the atheist notion of biologist and author Richard Dawkins and others that evolution proves there is no God.
“Of course we think that’s absurd and not at all proven,” he said. “But other than that … the Vatican has recognized that it doesn’t stand in the way of scientific realities.”
It’s not Richard Dawkins’ job to prove a negative. We don’t think the Theory of Evolution proves there is no God. We believe that there is no objective, verifiable evidence of a Creator God. Big difference.
