Romans 5 talks about death via sin. This does not contradict evolution.

Paul says that death entered into the world as a result of Adam’s sin.

Sadly, you only believe what you want to believe based on a personal interpretation of the Bible. Not the real facts about the Bible. There is a difference.
No, you are making a statement on what you assume I believe. I believe what I believe and its just astonishing for another person to make such a conclusive judgment of my own faith for me.
Sorry, I do not have a church. I belong to the Church that Jesus Christ established.

Romans 5:12 – Wherefore as by one man sin entered into this world, and by sin death; and so death passed upon all men, in whom all have sinned. (DR)
Sin entered, and AFTER sin, we have death to men. There was no separation from God (die the death) before for man because there was no man. There was a ceasing to be, but, not separated from God. Again, this doesn’t counter evolution. It’s common sense there was death before Adam and Eve. How did they eat? Did the vegetables and fruits they have continue to live after picked? (Assuming peas and corn were avalible in the Garden, you see.)

Yeah thanks for pointing out that I am not worth, I already knew that. Actually no I depend on the Grace and Mercy of God through His only Son Jesus Christ for my salvation, but it’s up to me to do my part, and thats where my Faith & works comes into play

Yea, verily. I think maybe that is something that should be pointed out, those of us (and, perhaps I cannot speak for all who are evolution believing Catholics), but, some of us who believe evolution is how things transpired, must give creedence to the idea that maybe it was really six days as stated. Not against that, per se, just, particularly, don’t ascribe to it.Robert : And just as easily be 6 days as well

There you go , the opposite direction - I love it. With GOD All things are possible. But I still believe that GOD has the ability to do all things - including the Flood and parting the Red Sea and making Ballams Donkey speak. There isnt a scientific reason for any of these things. Some need that Proof. Some dont. Having Faith is Having Faith IMO. And I am in no position to tell someone they are wrong. Nor to provide scientific proof to change the doubter into the believer. Because Scripture says what it says and St Paul says what he says in 1 Cor Chapters 1 and 2 for effect - not to judge the Word of GOD by earthly standards. But to approach it as GOD , an Infinite Intelligence , has authored it - not only by Scholastic means - but Spiritual as well.Or 6 milliseconds, for that matter.

Exactly. God could have done a number of things both thought of and not yet thought of. But I too subscribe to the evolution theory. Prolly because I don’t see any contradiction between evolution and the Biblical description. That, and I’m science-minded myself.
That said, as a human being and subject to error (lots of it in my case!), I realize it’s just an opinion. I praise God whether he created us in a gajillion years, 6500 years, 6 days, 6 seconds, or 6 eternities (if one could fathom such a thing). It matters not.
God created us… and that does matter.
