When we read in Genesis the story of creation, we may imagine that God was a magician with a magic wand able to do all things. But it is not so. He created beings and allowed them to develop according to internal laws He has given to each; they grow and they reach their fullness.... The evolution of nature is not opposed to the concept of Creation, because evolution presupposes the creation of evolving beings.

— Pope Francis, addressing the Papal Academy of Sciences, October 27
