Well, in order to answer your question, we would have to know what you regard as the "truth about evolution and science." There are a great many versions of "the truth," you know. Some people believe one "truth" some another.
As to what the current pope has to do with my particular brand of being a "nonbeliever," I can't imagine any change of opinion on his part that would influence my thinking.

Um, the Pope accepts Evolution. The Vatican came out with an entire speech on how they accepted it. The Science behind it does not attempt to prove or disprove the existance of God... so it wouldn't disturb their beliefs on that point.

The Vatican endorses evolution. John Paul reported: right this moment, very almost 0.5 a century after e-e book of the encyclical, new understanding has brought about the acceptance of the thought of evolution as greater advantageous than a hypothesis. it is definitely superb that this concept has been gradually common by ability of researchers, following a chain of discoveries in diverse fields of understanding. The convergence, neither sought nor fabricated, of the end results of artwork that became performed independently is in itself an significant argument in choose of the thought.

The Pope and the official doctrine of the Catholic Church accept science and evolution as true.
Evolution is seen as a valid and true description of life in the physical world, while religion is seen as explaining the the initial creation of life and humanity by God.

I studied the Catholic Church and popes, especially Pope John Paul II and this one... they know the "truth" about evolution, science, psychology, etc. they just picked and chose what they wanted to actually "accept" and teach. Which is one of the things I found so hypocritical because right-wing Catholics are so ANTI-caferia-Catholic it's scary.
Anybody who doesn't believe me, read PJP II's "Theology of the Body". His philosophy is BRILLIANT, IF you ignore reality, of science, etc. as a whole.

Then the current Pope will have a good understanding of how we developed. Not a bad thing at all. What's your point?

He has. Benedict is an educated scholar.
Remember, Vatican issued an official appology in 1992 for the nasty things done to Gallileo and his colleagues .
The Vatican does not ctiticise evolution and Darwin. That's an uneducated american bible thumper thing only.

The Catholic Church actually does currently embrace both of those things already, and has for quite a few years now.

I am fairly sure that he does agree with the theory of evolution. RCs are pretty much up to date with a lot of the latest theories.

Then non-believers will be shown to be correct. Then all people who put their energies into worshipping a non-existent deity can turn thier efforts to science to improve the lots of those less fortunate in this world. Instead of standing by, feeling self-satisfied, superier and 'holy'.
