The Vatican rejects intelligent design

Wow, I can't believe the Vatican has come out so strongly against the Christian fundamentalists. I mean, I can believe it, but still... [livejournal.com profile] vyoma would be proud, if he were online and strolling the Earth right now, which for some reason, I suspect he must not be. Where the hell is that guy???

Anyway, from this news article:
The Vatican has issued a stout defence of Charles Darwin, voicing strong criticism of Christian fundamentalists who reject his theory of evolution and interpret the biblical account of creation literally.
A Google search on 'vatican intelligent design' also pulls up a bunch more articles about this.

Update: The eminently wise Pat Robertson just went ga-ga over the intelligent design thing, and on a comment elsewhere, a link to this great T-shirt was posted with a quote attributed to Patty: Feminism encourages women to leave their husbands, kill their children, practice witchcraft, destroy capitalism and become lesbians. I thought that 'killing their children' and 'destroying capitalism' were nice touches, there.
