And do you think all scientists should run all their ideas by religious folk before they release them?

Did Galileo need the pope's permission?
Why should science have to bend to the will of superstition? If they had to do that, we'd all be stuck in the Dark Ages! It's amazing we've even come this far.

No if we did that we would still be in the stone age. I am a christian but i think that some ppl are just too religious. The pope isnt god and cant deny someone their opinion given them by god.
How do u define christians we are so devided nowadays and how, when, where, on what, and who would vote. Just too complicated
its amazing how the christians came to a consensus on this one. we can barely agree who chris was and if he was gods son

No not at all, we are all entitled to our opinion no matter how whacked out they might be.
Oh and by the way, Christianity and the Catholic Religion are two COMPLETELY different things, as a fundamentalist Christian I don't need the Pope's permission to do squat.

absolutely not! at least not in America. I love my country because even if your ideas are wrong you can publish them, you have a right to publish absolute foolishness!!! and them people can publicly disagree have discussions debate come to a consensus or agree to disagree. This is what makes out country great

even though alot of people classify catholics and christians as the same thing they aren't I am christian and I could care less about what the pope says or does along with the rest of my church.

My god no. We'd still be living in the 3rd century, is THAT what you want? The Pope is no one to tell a scientist what to do. EVER!

This question was directed towards Christians and it's amazing how many Atheists chimed in with offensive comments.

Does it matter when the Pope agrees that evolution is a fact?

Sweetie, the pope is in charge of nothing. Nobody with a brain needs his permission to do anything. My wish for 2007 is that he is assasinated.
