"'Any British Politician, Right or Left Wing, Would Laugh and Say, "Yes, of Course Evolution Is True"'"

"Many Orthodox Jews believe that evolution is compatible with the teachings of the Hebrew Bible, and Islamic scholars have, with some exceptions, generally supported the theory.
"Roman Catholics in the last half-century have only become more accepting of Darwin. In 1950, Pope Pius XII said that evolution was not at odds with Catholic teaching, an opinion reiterated by Pope John Paul II in 1996. Pope Francis thrilled science teachers, and large numbers of Catholics in October, by saying that God was not a 'magician, with a magic wand,' but rather worked through principles like evolution."
