Common ancestry? Like humans and apes? One day an ape had a human baby? CRISPR is still in the early stages of being useful. It can cause collateral damage.
 
And Pope Benedict said it cannot be proven since it can’t be duplicated in controlled conditions.
 
Jesus knew His time to die was coming and why. Then He arose from the dead, bodily.

They use “intelligently designed” trial and error, not totally random trial and error, (I’m sure you can appreciate that!). And the knowledge gained through an understanding of evolution is the basis for that intelligent design.

Then everyone should quit quoting Popes because they aren’t scientists.

One day a human being gave birth to the Son of God.

That the first person was conceived within the womb of and possibly nurtured by an animal by no means would make him any less human. The creation of Adam would not be gradual, nor would conception have involved the animal mating. We are a new creation.

Everything starts from something small, a seed, even the entire universe.

That said, having been resurrected, Jesus appeared to His disciples in a closed room, like a brick is unhampered in its passage through smoke. There are levels of being that reduce our daily experience, as real as it is, to mere illusion in comparison.

We have no idea how God did this and I doubt very much if science will ever shine a light on it.

The story is important because it tells us who we are, and that will influence what we do. And, it is what we do that determines who we will be for all eternity.
 
If you create a natural world the intent is that you want it to act and develop according to its nature. Otherwise what is the point? (That’s a rhetorical question by the way) Science is the study of its nature and development. The theory of evolution makes perfect sense within that context.

Indeed they do. They rely on the facts about evolution, specifically the mechanisms behind bacteria evolving immunity to antibiotics. By the understanding of those evolutionary mechanisms doctors can better tailor drug regimes to slow down the evolution of immunity to the drug.

Have done, and I watch the Dawkins segment again each time someone repeats the ridiculous accusation that he seriously suggested alien seeding. He didn’t.

The natural world was created that it might come to know God through us. The most basic of forms that are atoms which make up molecules are like bricks. Neither if they acted according to their natures, would ever construct a house. And, something completely different is needed to make that house a home.

I don’t see how if something is not useful scientifically that that somehow undermines its truthfulness. Physicists infer black holes exist based on proxy data similar to the way archaeologists use fossils to glean info about evolution. Cosmology doesn’t seem to have the same battle as biological evolution likely because there is no mention of black holes in the Bible.
 
Richard Dawkins believes it is possible extraterrestrials created man!

I don’t trust the dating methods. Sure, there were dinosaurs and other animals. That proves nothing.

The question is whether or not there is any way anyone could satisfy you that placing the age of the dinosaurs long before the existence of modern humans is by far the most reasonable explanation of the geologic record as a whole. Could any physical evidence demonstrate that to you, or do you automatically refuse to believe anything that is incompatible with your interpretation of what the Divine Word had to be saying by what was written in Genesis and how it was written?
