The Vatican has issued a stout defence of Charles Darwin, voicing strong criticism of Christian fundamentalists who reject his theory of evolution and interpret the biblical account of creation literally.梵蒂岡已發出斯圖特辯護查爾斯達爾文，表示強烈的批評，基督教原教旨主義者拒絕他的進化論和解釋聖經帳戶的創作從字面上來看。

Cardinal Paul Poupard, head of the Pontifical Council for Culture, said the Genesis description of how God created the universe and Darwin’s theory of evolution were “perfectly compatible” if the Bible were read correctly.樞機主教保羅poupard ，主管主教理事會的文化，說的成因說明如何上帝創造了宇宙和達爾文的進化論是“完美兼容”如果聖經被正確讀取。
His statement was a clear attack on creationist campaigners in the US, who see evolution and the Genesis account as mutually exclusive.他的聲明是一個明確的攻擊creationist運動在美國，誰見的演變和成因的帳戶，作為互相排斥的。

“The fundamentalists want to give a scientific meaning to words that had no scientific aim,” he said at a Vatican press conference. “原教旨主義要給予科學的意義的話沒有科學的目的，他說： ”在梵蒂岡的記者招待會上。 He said the real message in Genesis was that “the universe didn’t make itself and had a creator”.他說，真正的訊息，在成因是“宇宙並沒有使自己和了創作者” 。

This idea was part of theology, Cardinal Poupard emphasized, while the precise details of how creation and the development of the species came about belonged to a different realm - science.這個概念的一部分，神學，樞機主教poupard強調，而精確的細節如何建立和發展的物種來約屬於不同的境界-科學。 Cardinal Poupard said that it was important for Catholic believers to know how science saw things so as to “understand things better”.樞機主教poupard說，這是非常重要的天主教信徒知道如何科學看到的東西，以便“更好地理解這些事情” 。

His statements were interpreted in Italy as a clear rejection of the “intelligent design” view, which says the universe is so complex that some higher being must have designed every detail.他的發言被解釋為在意大利作為一個明確的反對“智能設計論”的看法，它說宇宙是如此複雜，一些高正必須有設計的每一個細節。

You know we’re in trouble when even the Catholic Church is trying to preserve humanity’s wisdom against America’s majority of childish, ignorant, religious fanatics.你知道我們正處在時的麻煩，甚至天主教會正試圖以保存人類的智慧對美國的多數幼稚，愚昧，宗教狂熱分子。 The last time the Church played that type of role was during the Dark Ages.最後一次在教會所發揮的這種類型的角色是在黑暗的中世紀。
