I am a Catholic and I have no problem with Evolution, String Theory, Parallel Universes, etc. None at all.

I would caution diehard atheists to not lump together all who choose to believe in a Supreme Being, or "Force" , with those who take certain Biblical allegorical and metaphorical stories literally. Creationists who believe in fairy tales (useful and full of wisdom, these tales, but still tales) as literal fact and those who merely accept the existence of God but who still believe in science are NOT one in the same.

I have an atheist brother-in-law who tries to do that and it gets tiring telling him to go play in the street.

Those Christians who think that in order to be a Christian that you have to be a literalist are sadly misguided. I have no problem saying that b/c many literalist fundamentalist Protestants out there hold that as a Catholic that I am not even a real Christian so I take great pleasure out of telling them that they miss the whole point of the stories. They get it wriong from beginning (Genesis) to end (Revelations). BTW 666 was Nero. The antiChrist is long dead.

One of my good friends is an Orthodox Jew and he and I have some very cool discussions about OT stories and what they mean. Christians who ignore the Jewish perspective on the OT writings do so at their own risk. BTW (most if not all) Jews are not literalists either and have no problem with Evolution or most science.
