Because creationism CAN be proven?

"Science has opened up large dimensions of reason ... and thus brought us new insights," the pope wrote. "But in the joy at the extent of its discoveries, it tends to take away from us dimensions of reason that we still need."

Dimensions of REASON for heaven's sake???? My apologies to anyone who might agree with him, but please. Reason? Faith, yes. Reason? As in something you can think about and, oh, be reasonable about?

Now, if he had written that the joy at the extent of [science's] discoveries tend to take away from us the dimensions of joy that we still need? I would have said OK. Not that I think organized religion has much to do with joy, but more with human power structures. - and human weakness. But faith and religion and belief can be joyous. But reasonable? Not so much.
