Vatican official: 'Intelligent design' isn't science 
VATICAN CITY (AP) — The Vatican's chief astronomer said Friday 
that "intelligent design" isn't science and doesn't belong in 
science classrooms, the latest high-ranking Roman Catholic official 
to enter the evolution debate in the United States.
 
The Rev. George Coyne, the Jesuit director of the Vatican 
Observatory, said placing intelligent design theory alongside that 
of evolution in school programs was "wrong" and was akin to mixing 
apples with oranges. 

"Intelligent design isn't science even though it pretends to be," 
the ANSA news agency quoted Coyne as saying on the sidelines of a 
conference in Florence. "If you want to teach it in schools, 
intelligent design should be taught when religion or cultural 
history is taught, not science." 

His comments were in line with his previous statements 
on "intelligent design" — whose supporters hold that the universe is 
so complex that it must have been created by a higher power. 

Proponents of intelligent design want public schools in the United 
States to teach it as part of the science curriculum. Critics say 
intelligent design is merely creationism — a literal reading of the 
Bible's story of creation — camouflaged in scientific language, and 
they say it does not belong in science curriculum. 

In a June article in the British Catholic magazine The Tablet, Coyne 
reaffirmed God's role in creation, but said science explains the 
history of the universe. 

"If they respect the results of modern science, and indeed the best 
of modern biblical research, religious believers must move away from 
the notion of a dictator God or a designer God, a Newtonian God who 
made the universe as a watch that ticks along regularly." 

Rather, he argued, God should be seen more as an encouraging parent. 
"God in his infinite freedom continuously creates a world that 
reflects that freedom at all levels of the evolutionary process to 
greater and greater complexity," he wrote. "He is not continually 
intervening, but rather allows, participates, loves." 

The Vatican Observatory, which Coyne heads, is one of the oldest 
astronomical research institutions in the world. It is based in the 
papal summer residence at Castel Gandolfo south of Rome. 

Last week, Pope Benedict XVI waded indirectly into the evolution 
debate by saying the universe was made by an "intelligent project" 
and criticizing those who in the name of science say its creation 
was without direction or order. 

Questions about the Vatican's position on evolution were raised in 
July by Austrian Cardinal Christoph Schoenborn. 

In a New York Times column, Schoenborn seemed to back intelligent 
design and dismissed a 1996 statement by Pope John Paul II that 
evolution was "more than just a hypothesis." Schoenborn said the 
late pope's statement was "rather vague and unimportant."
