In the Denver Post, Wednesday, Oct. 29, 2014, reporter Ishaan Tharoor for the Washington Post, wrote a report on Pope Francis’ recent address to the Pontifical Academy of Sciences. This article states that the Pope appeared to endorse Big Bang cosmology, by saying there was no contradiction between believing in God as well as prevailing scientific theories. According to Tharoor, the Pope went on to say,” God is not a divine being (emphasis added) or a magician, but the Creator who brought everything to life.” “Evolution in nature is not inconsistent with the notion of creation, because evolution requires the creation of beings that evolve.”
