“… no conflict between …”

“According to the widely accepted scientific account…”

These qualifiers indicate TO ME the nuance I mentioned before.

Also, I accept that there are fellow believers that happen to be Catholic. Yes, there are some (actually, many) things I disagree about in relation to Catholic dogma, so I am not a Catholic. But I do not believe for a second that Catholics are not ipso facto Christian, simply for being Catholic. Probably some are and some are not, which I how I see ANY denomination, altho I will agree that in some denoms it is HARDER to hear the gospel and in some it is easier.
