Vatican Endorses Science

The Catholic Church has had surprisingly good attitude towards secular science in the past decade or so, including a statement by John Paul II that evolution is "more than just a hypothsis".

Now, a Vatican cardinal has announced a project that encourages dialogue rather than enmity between religion and science, with each listening to the other:

"It’s important for the faithful to know how science views things to understand better.”

Just thought I'd provide a counterpoint to all the scorn and binary views of science vs. religion we get around here.
