John Paul II’s successor, Benedict XVI, has moved the Church even further from the scientific consensus by asserting “the theory of evolution is not a complete, scientifically proven theory.”

Mainline Protestant churches (a dying breed in the United States, a dead breed in Europe) have stated their support for evolution, but the more conservative fundamentalist, evangelical, and Pentecostal churches continue to fight it tooth and nail. Eastern Orthodox Christians, Muslims, and Orthodox Jews also reject evolution.

Any Christian, Jew, or Muslim who accepts evolution, as do most of the scientists of these faiths, must be confronted with the fact that, according to the conventional interpretation, the human species is an accident. This violates the fundamental teaching by all these faiths that humanity is special. The answer usually given is that God, in fact, guides evolution. So, these so-called evolution believers are really believers in divine design after all.
