Theistic Evolution

This week, the Catholic church re-affirmed its support of Darwin's theory of evolution. The Anglican church also recently expressed support for evolution, even offering a belated apology for the church's treatment of Darwin.

The Vatican has voiced its acceptance of evolution as the means that God used to create life on earth. As noted in the Reuters story:

The Catholic Church teaches "theistic evolution," a stand that accepts evolution as a scientific theory and sees no reason why God could not have used a natural evolutionary process in the forming of the human species.
