Attack of the Theocrats!
You've got the wrong person. I'm not a bible Christian. I don't do creationism or ID.
It is an historical fact that Church teaching has relied not only on scripture but also on tradition (i.e. the age-old human practice of passing down truth from generation to generation) for its truths.
My point was that the Church has taught for centuries that the universe was created ex nihilo and here, two millenia later, you have an eminent scientist confirming that in his perception the universe was spontaneously created from nothing.
Truth does not contradict truth.
