Pope Francis announced that he now embraces the science of Evolution & the Big Bang. Hmm. I wonder if he just watched Cosmos?

@neiltyson Way back in 1952, Pope Pius XII spoke of evolution theory and said that there was not an inherent conflict w/ Catholic teaching. -

@neiltyson After you study actual Catholic history/teaching on Evolution & Big Bang, retraction of Pope Francis comment seems appropriate.Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo

@neiltyson Tyson-You are showing your ignorance of long-standing Catholic teaching on the matter. You should know history on Big Bang.Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo

@neiltyson@Ed_Schultheis Pope is the one announcing like it's a new thing. Religion has always been so accepting of scientific discovery /s -
@LipstikCriminal Pope speaks every week on various subjects.It's not new to any serious Catholic. Uninformed secular media just spins it so. - 1 more reply

@neiltyson Do your homework concerning Big Bang. Do you not know of Catholic priest, astronomer and physicist Monseigneur Georges Lemaître? -
@Ed_Schultheis@neiltyson Are you seriously suggesting that a phd astrophysicist isn't aware of the history of the Big Bang? -
@InebriateMe666@neiltyson Yes. If Neil knew sufficient history on B-B / evolution research, he wouldn't have made that comment about pope.

@neiltyson This hasn't been news since Pius XII said the same thing. Mendacious portayal of Bruno showed Cosmos was trash@Ed_Schultheis -
@uxixu I think that Neil has little insight of how much this science is built upon the work of Catholics, Catholic clergy & Catholic Church. -
@Ed_Schultheis@uxixu like Galileo. The church was really open to his opinion. Right before they burned him at the stake. -
@kellenbrent Bruno was occultist, not a scientist as implied on Cosmos. Office of Inquisition forbidden to punish 1/2@Ed_Schultheis

This isn't about basic subjects like history, science, or astronomy. This is English. Words like "NOW embraces"
@neiltyson@Ed_Schultheis -
@AirKills@neiltyson You're right Eric.Pope never said "NOW embraces".Neil made that up. Pope&Catholics embraced this for many-many decades - End of conversation
