神は「マジシャン」にあらず(Pope Francis)

教皇フランチェスコ1世*1、「進化」について語る;


“The big bang, which is today posited as the origin of the world, does not contradict the divine act of creation; rather, it requires it,” the pope said in an address to a meeting at the pontifical academy of sciences.

“Evolution of nature is not inconsistent with the notion of creation because evolution presupposes the creation of beings which evolve.”

Francis, 77, said it was easy to misinterpret the creation story as recounted in the book of Genesis, according to which God created heaven and Earth in six days and rested on the seventh.

“When we read the creation story in Genesis we run the risk of imagining that God was a magician, with a magic wand which is able to do everything,” he said.

そういえば、特異な目的論的進化論を唱えたテイヤール・ド・シャルダンもフランチェスコ1世と同じイエズス会士だった。
