Catholics and Evolutions

I am very tired of the evolution/creation debate for a lot of reasons, but here is quick glimpse at my real problem. This post was written in reaction to this post. I have read both of these posts and I cannot help think that the authors actually agree. You should read both posts and see for yourself, but the following quotes illustrate what I mean.

“Evolution in the sense of common ancestry might be true, but evolution in the neo-Darwinian sense — an unguided, unplanned process of random variation and natural selection — is not. Any system of thought that denies or seeks to explain away the overwhelming evidence for design in biology is ideology, not science.”Finding Design in Nature by Christoph Schonborn July 7, 2005

“The theory of evolution can be disturbing to Christians because it seems to clash with the idea of divine creation,” said Nicola Cabibbo, president of the Pontifical Academy of Sciences, a 78-member body of academics who advise the pope on scientific matters. Cabibbo is a professor of particle physics at Rome’s La Sapienza University.”However, this clash is false. What clashes with divine creation is an extension of the theory of evolution into materialistic interpretations, so-called ‘evolutionism,’ ” Cabbibo told NCR July 18. “That’s not science, it’s metaphysics.”Catholic experts urge caution in evolution debate by John L. Allen Jr.
