Default Vatican agrees ID should not be in the classroom

Ok I'm not sure if this article was posted before. I did a quick search and didn't see anything but it could have been discussed before as it is dated 11/16/05, but figured I would post it anyway.

Article

Quote:
VATICAN CITY (AP) -- The Vatican's chief astronomer said Friday that "intelligent design'' isn't science and doesn't belong in science classrooms, the latest high-ranking Roman Catholic official to enter the evolution debate raging in the United States.
The Rev. George Coyne, the Jesuit director of the Vatican Observatory, said placing intelligent design ideas alongside the theory of evolution in school programs was "wrong'' and was akin to mixing apples with oranges.
