Genesis and Evolution

[Against_Heresy]

I understand other threads have been opened concerning these subjects and it would be great for anyone to direct me to a few great links.

Yet I have a few questions.

I understand the Church has declared that indeed Adam and Even existed, yet at the same time I heard John Paul II said that it is okay to believe in evolution as long as God is behind it and at one stage infused an immortal soul into the complete human being.

For the Pope to allow the belief in evolution as state above would not make sense. Evolution says we evolved from primitive ancestors and therefore our “parents” were not Adam and Eve but the many, many fully evolved human beings. This would render the belief in Adam and Eve as our first parents and incompatible.

Can someone shed some light for me, Thanks.

Oh my! I did not know this! I could have been banned for my ignorance? Hmmmmm…

Mostly because we posters cannot carry on a civil discussion regarding this subject.

Sadly, I can see your point.

Sad though, in that many of these questions led to very interesting discussions.

Is this ban really still in effect? That ban was enacted in 2009.

Yes. It was recently extended to yet another forum.
