Common Sense…

…that neither atheist fundamentalists nor Christian fundamentalists seem to be willing to hear:

Currently, I see in Germany, but also in the United States, a somewhat fierce debate raging between so-called ‘creationism’ and evolutionism, presented as though they were mutually exclusive alternatives: those who believe in the Creator would not be able to conceive of evolution, and those who instead support evolution would have to exclude God. This antithesis is absurd because, on the one hand, there are so many scientific proofs in favor of evolution which appears to be a reality we can see and which enriches our knowledge of life and being as such. But on the other, the doctrine of evolution does not answer every query, especially the great philosophical question: where does everything come from?” – Pope Benedict XVI

That sound you hear is the heads of Richard Dawkins’, Jerry Coyne’s, Bob Sungenis’ and Hugh Miller’s heads exploding.
