Creationists should listen to the Pope!

It's no secret that the Catholic church doesn't deny science, but it's still blogworthy to quote some sensible words from the Pope. Pope Benedict XVI said the debate raging in some countries — particularly the United States and his native Germany — between creationism and evolution was an “absurdity,” saying that evolution can coexist with faith. “This clash is an absurdity because on one hand there is much scientific proof in favor of evolution, which appears as a reality that we must see and which enriches our understanding of life and being as such.” “This obedience to the voice of the Earth is more important for our future happiness ... than the desires of the moment. Our Earth is talking to us and we must listen to it and decipher its message if we want to survive,” he said.

Good statement. But I doubt it will do much good in America, I don't think he's that popular there.
