They tend to take Genesis more literally, than other Christians. But, then what does that say about the religion as a whole? Christians can't even agree on their own faith book?
Which just speaks to me, that it's all nonsense...just spun several different ways, in various denominations.
The Roman Catholic Church teaches that the basic premise of evolution is true, but then they get tripped up when they believe that God still gave humans a 'soul.' When did that happen exactly in the 'evolutionary process?''
Before Charles Darwin's theory took shape, Christians took Genesis, literally. Hmmm...then, Charles Darwin came along, and years later...the Catholic Church and other denoms were teaching that it's 'ok' to accept Genesis as metaphorical in nature. So, just like that...'god' changed his mind? He sent a cosmic message to all the 'church leaders' that...now, thou shalt believe in evolution? lol Oh please.
It's just too much nonsense for me, anymore.
Science is complex, yet simple. It's beautiful. It doesn't have all the answers, but that doesn't mean it never will. I trust science, because simply put, it doesn't lie. Religions lie.
The Catholic Church has the entire truth and does not lie.
We accept evolution as plausible as well as the accounts in Genesis.
What is key to the issue is a God created the World and how he did it may be evolution or the Biblical way.

You came all this way to say so little?
