This is in response to the article on a Catholic cardinal's comments on evolution ["Cardinal says atheist's theories of evolution 'absurd,'" March 4].
Cardinal William Levada claimed that atheist theories of evolution are absurd, but says the Catholic Church does not stand in the way of Darwinism.
This is a ridiculous combination. Darwinian evolution is based on everything in the past being the result of natural occurrences. That specifically means no divine intervention, and in fact, no God.
The Catholic Church and, in fact, many other Christian churches, have attempted to make a deal with the devil.
They have denied the biblical account of creation and accepted the atheist view of evolution, going back in history to the Big Bang, and then attempted to part ways with the atheists and say, "God now must enter the scene."
What arrogance we humans have in attempting to tell God what he could have done.
Intelligent design is a proven fact, to anyone with an ounce of intelligence that hasn't been overruled by previous dogmatic beliefs.
The complexity of microscopic cellular life, as explained by Michael Behe in his book, "Darwin's Black Box," is irrefutable.
Even Darwin claimed that if anything could be shown that could not have evolved step by step, then his theory would fail. And fail it has.
If Darwinian evolution were true, there would necessarily be millions of intermediate life forms, or so- called "missing links." There is not one proven example in all of recorded history.
Many of the churches have bowed to the false claims of scientists who have no proof that macroevolution has ever occurred, but claim evolution is a fact.
We are all becoming like the proverbial Ph.D. who learns more and more about less and less until he knows everything about nothing.
