I have grown up as a Catholic and remain in a religious family but I am beginning to wonder why religion does not allow someone to question some things - you are supposed to have faith and just believe. I think it is just logical to look at both sides of an argument no matter how uncomfortable it is (creation vs evolution). If someone does not allow you to look explore the other side, then this is a big red flag and the more the reason you should. This will ensure we avoid situations like what befell the famous astronomer Galileo who was sentenced to death by the Catholic Church for revealing that the earth revolves around the sun and not vice versa.
With this bold view from the Pope that we should not dismiss the big bang, I wonder how the bible stories such as creation in Genesis , Adam and Eve, original sin, come into the picture. Surely we can only have one theory as being correct and not both (though am taught by religion that evolution largely complements the creation theory and does not conflict with it, which I highly doubt).
