Here is an excellent analysis of the Hebrew word yom:
http://www.godandscience.org/youngearth/yom_with_number.pdf
http://www.godandscience.org/youngearth/yom_with_number.pdf
read it. The author completely missed how the bible was defining 'yom' /day by missing the phrase ..."evening and morning" the first day etc. If he goes with yom as an indefinite period of time, then does he do the same for the words 'evening' and 'morning'? If he does then he's turning Scripture into poetry, a dumb habit of theological liberals.
And here is an excellent explanation for that:
How Long an Evening & Morning
To quote one paragraph:
"Evening and morning" is an idiomatic expression in Semitic languages. Like all idioms, its meaning is nonliteral but clearly understood by native speakers. The phrase "evening and morning" can, like yom, denote a long and indefinite period. The Old Testament itself unambiguously uses the "evening and morning" phrase in just such a way. In Daniel 8 we read the account of Daniel's ram and goat vision and the interpretation given by Gabriel. The vision covers many years; some commentators believe the time has not yet been completed. Daniel 8:26 says, "The vision of the evenings and the mornings that have been given to you is true, but seal up the vision for it concerns the distant future" (RSV). In Hebrew manuscripts, "the evenings and mornings," is not in the plural but in the singular, identical to the expression we find in Genesis 1. Translated literally, the verse would red, "And the vision of the evening and the morning that has been given you" Here we have a clear indication from scriptural usage that this phrase does not demand a 24-hour-day interpretation and can refer to an indefinite epoch.

We know that human cloning and test tube babies are immoral acts, but where in the Bible do those conflict?
Faith and reason are like two wings on which the human spirit rises to the contemplation of truth; and God has placed in the human heart a desire to know the truth—in a word, to know himself—so that, by knowing and loving God, men and women may also come to the fullness of truth about themselves (cf. Ex 33:18; Ps 27:8-9; 63:2-3; Jn 14:8; 1 Jn 3:2).
Fides et Ratio, Encyclical Letter, John Paul II, 14 September 1998
The Catholic Church has always taught that "no real disagreement can exist between the theologian and the scientist provided each keeps within his own limits. . . . If nevertheless there is a disagreement . . . it should be remembered that the sacred writers, or more truly ‘the Spirit of God who spoke through them, did not wish to teach men such truths (as the inner structure of visible objects) which do not help anyone to salvation’; and that, for this reason, rather than trying to provide a scientific exposition of nature, they sometimes describe and treat these matters either in a somewhat figurative language or as the common manner of speech those times required, and indeed still requires nowadays in everyday life, even amongst most learned people" (Leo XIII, Providentissimus Deus 18).
As the Catechism puts it, "Methodical research in all branches of knowledge, provided it is carried out in a truly scientific manner and does not override moral laws, can never conflict with the faith, because the things of the world and the things the of the faith derive from the same God. The humble and persevering investigator of the secrets of nature is being led, as it were, by the hand of God in spite of himself, for it is God, the conserver of all things, who made them what they are" (CCC 159).
The Catholic Church has no fear of science or scientific discovery.

the pope has spokes people for a reason.
english is not his first language, and has gotten him into trouble before.
Either way, doesnt matter much.
the man is nothing more than a empty shell meant to serve a single purpose.
And soon he will not be able to go out into public, because what is within will be manifest for all to see.

Roman Catholicism is the woman who rides the beast.
"The woman you saw is the great city that rules over the kings of the earth.”
At the time that John was receiving the information above, the city that ruled over the kings of the earth was Rome.
"The seven heads are seven hills on which the woman sits"
Rome was literally built on and is famous for the "seven hills of Rome."
"The woman was dressed in purple and scarlet, and was glittering with gold, precious stones and pearls."
Purple and scarlet are the exact colors that Rome's bishops and cardinals wear:
The woman who rides the beast is that city that ruled over the kings of the earth and sits on seven hills and is dressed in purple and scarlet, is pointing us to Roman Catholicism and the Vatican as her headquarters. One of the future popes is going to play the part of the false prophet who will be performing those miracles, signs and wonders on behalf of the beast. So no, the pope is not a man appointed by God, i.e. not a Godly man. The institution of the Roman Catholic church will play the part of the woman who rides the beast, with one of her future popes as the false prophet.
Regardless of what the pope says, evolution is in complete contrast with God as the creator. He's is right in that, God does not have a magic wand and that because He can speak things into existence by speaking a word or a thought. Jesus said, "nothing is impossible with God." The pope denies this when he says that God had to use evolution as means of creation.
Scripture states that God created man from the dust of the earth and breathed life into him. Evolution says that mankind and everything else, initiated from a primordial pool and evolved into different things. Yet God's word states that He caused Adam to fall into a deep sleep and took one of his ribs and created woman.
God just spoke all things into existence by His mighty word. So the pope is right in that respect in that, God doesn't need a magic wand, He just speaks and it happens.
