Catholic doctrine maintains, infallibly; that human beings are created, that there was a literal Adam and Eve, and that we are all their descendants. That the church is "okay" with evolution is a rhetorical flourish that has catholics and atheists alike more than a little bit confused. They're not okay with it at all, but saying so without explicitly listing the caveat gets them a pass on scrutiny.....not the least of which, the growing incredulity of their own flock.(August 11, 2017 at 9:02 pm)vorlon13 Wrote: If evolution is God ordained, seems like a 'heads up' on the topic might have found it's way into Scripture.

CL's understanding is right in line with Catholic doctrine.
The RCC, like every other creatard organization, doesn't mean evoution, when they say "evolution". Nor does CL, she doesn;t accept evolution, she's an IDer. I suppose it's a way of negotiating to the middle between what the RCC demands of the faithful and what the faithful can bring themselves to swallow.
