Quotes from Pope Francis

• "When we read about Creation in Genesis, we run the risk of imagining God was a magician, with a magic wand able to do everything. But that is not so."
• “He created human beings and let them develop according to the internal laws that he gave to each one so they would reach their fulfillment."
• “The Big Bang, which today we hold to be the origin of the world, does not contradict the intervention of the divine creator but, rather, requires it."
• “Evolution in nature is not inconsistent with the notion of creation, because evolution requires the creation of beings that evolve.”
