As long as it references the subject in hand, I wouldn't have a problem with it. But please note that while I was snarking, my comments had a serious edge. Funes is taking a position that I've never heard before from anyone in the RCC hierarchy. If he has Vatican approval on that--which he certainly must--it may represent a willingness by the Pope to allow for at least the idea of scientific speculation. Which is a damn sight further than some Pentacostal and Protestant groups will alow.
