Welcome to the 20th century Pope, just another 100 years to catch up on now.

At least he's contradicting the Creationists which has to be a good thing.

Apparently God is not "a magician with a magic wand", Pope Francis has declared.

However, why is this in the "Science" section?

That would be because the it involves Evolution and the Big Bang vs Made in Gods Image and Creation.

Look upon it as like the Climate Change thread where there are believers and non-believers.

Quote from Wiki -

Pope Pius XII declared, at the November 22, 1951, opening meeting of the Pontifical Academy of Sciences, that the Big Bang theory does not conflict with the Catholic concept of creation.

Perhaps, but there's a key difference between a Pope saying that "the Big Bang theory does not conflict with the Catholic concept of creation" and the latest Pope saying that both scientific theories were not incompatible with the existence of a creator – arguing instead that they "require it".

They were hedging their bets in the 20th century.

Not news?!?!

Best inform just about every media outlet on the planet who all deemed it 'news'.

Of course if you and eric don't think so then I'm sure they've all made a huge mistake.
