Pope Francis on evolution

Worth pondering over:
"The beginning of the world is not the work of chaos that owes its origin to something else, but it derives directly from a supreme principle that creates out of love...The Big Bang, that today is considered to be the origin of the world, does not contradict the creative intervention of God; on the contrary, it requires it. Evolution in nature is not in contrast with the notion of [divine] creation because evolution requires the creation of the beings that evolve.” (Pope Francis, http://www.nbcnews.com/news/world/pope-francis-evolution-big-bang-theory-are-real-n235696)

Biden apologizes for telling the truth

Why apologize?  Its the truth:
“Our allies in the region were our largest problem with Syria,” he said. “The Turks, who are great friends .?.?. the Saudis, the Emiratis, etc. What were they doing? They were so determined to take down [Syrian President Bashir al-Assad] and essentially have a proxy Sunni-Shia war. What did they do? They poured hundreds of millions of dollars and tens of thousands of weapons into anyone who would fight against Assad.

“Except that the people who were being supplied were [Jabhat] al-Nusra and al-Qaeda and the extremist elements of jihadis coming from other parts of the world.”
