And did you read the tract, written by Catholic Answers, which says Catholics can believe in the evolution of the human body?

Can Catholics accept evolution?

Adam being mentioned here.

1 Timothy 2:13-14 because Adam was formed first and Eve afterwards, and it was not Adam who was led astray but the woman who was led astray and fell into sin.

Romans 5:14 Nonetheless death reigned over all from Adam to Moses, even over those whose sin was not the breaking of a commandment, as Adam’s was. He prefigured the One who was to come.

Tobit 8:6 You it was who created Adam, you who created Eve his wife to be his help and support; and from these two the human race was born. You it was who said, ‘It is not right that the man should be alone; let us make him a helper like him.’

1 Corinthians 15:22 Just as all die in Adam, so in Christ all will be brought to life.

1 Corinthians 15:45 So the first man, Adam, as scripture says, became a living soul; and the last Adam has become a life-giving spirit.

Luke 3:38 son of Enos, son of Seth, son of Adam, son of God.
 
Who on this thread is rejecting the existence of Adam?

Straw man.

I don’t know. All I can do is look around and see that animals today in this day and age are fit for their environment.I can only use this as a guide and extrapolate that the animals in the past were also fit for their environment.

Fair enough, but I can’t help feeling that although this fits well into an evolutionary philosophy, it doesn’t fit well into a creationist one. What was God doing, creating all these environments and the organisms that suited them, and then wiping them all out and replacing them with a new lot?

What is the new lot, the animals we have today ?
 
That doesn’t mean scientific. The Koran references creation too.

True, but it does mean what actually happened.

No, it doesn’t. In-text references don’t put the scientific stamp of approval on the two creation accounts from Genesis. All it proves is that the people making the references had read Genesis.
 
I never said it put the scientific stamp of approval on the two creation accounts from Genesis. It puts the historical stamp of approval on them.
 
No, it doesn’t. The only thing it proves is that the people referencing Genesis had read/been told one of the two creation accounts. They certainly didn’t witness them.
 
This thread is going around in circles.

No matter what is put forth, many replies keep suggesting that Catholics can’t accept the findings of evolution.
