Evolution: What Controversy?

From The New York Times is a wonderful article showing that there is no controversy in evolution.

For example, the bastion of conservatives, the Roman Catholic Church, believes in evolution. As do athiests. This is because evolution is a scientific theory that explains what is, but not why something happens. The Church can provide one reason for why -- God is "the cause of causes" -- while athiests can believe that evolution doesn't require a God. Evolution itself isn't under contention.
