Pope Francis, has stated that the Bing Bang and evolution theories do not contradict the existence. While accepting the theories happened, he insisted they occurred at God’s impetus. Pope Francis told a meeting of the Vatican's Pontifical Academy for Sciences that the “Big Bang, which today we hold to be the origin of the world, does not contradict the intervention of the divine creator but, rather, requires it.”
He added that scientific studies, which have led us to believe that some 13.8 billion years ago the Big Bang created the universe, all slotted into God’s grand plan – as did evolution. Both theories are completely compatible with the teachings of the Catholic Church, according to the Pope.
This is because evolution requires that beings are actually created so that evolutionary process can proceed.
Pope Francis said that Genesis gives the impression that God is ‘a wizard with a magic wand’ and it is within his potential to do all things. However, reality somewhat contradicts this notion.
“But it is not so. He created life and let each creature develop according to the natural laws which he had given each one,” according to the Pope.
