Animals can give birth to a human? Wow. How does that fit into the theory of evolution? And I wonder why God chose “the last Adam” to be born of Mary, when he just have easily used a chimp.That is talking about human parents, animals are not included in that definition. Adam and Eve could have had animal parents but not human parents, neither Genesis or Doctrine rules that out as far as I see.
I’m so glad we can eat cauliflowers.Most living things are not edible. We can’t digest cellulose in wood but termites can.
Er, no. I’ve never seen a Tooth Fairy either. That doesn’t mean they don’t exist, of course.Have you seen the humanoids that existed tens of thousands of years ago?
If you told the early Church Fathers that one day some Catholics would believe such appalling nonsense, they’d declare you insane.They did at one point in time.
Where do you think horses came from, Techno? Humans bred them from cows over thousands of years. And chimps evolved so fast in the 20th century that they beat humans into space!About as far you can go with this is…Selective Breeding. You can only extrapolate and speculate if this might cause random mutations to create whole new species of animals.
Speak for yourself; my parents were human.Adam was produced in the same way as the rest of us, a material body from material biological processes and a soul direct from God.
Random Mutations can do it all !!!edwest211:![]()

I like to call it atheist theology or atheology (despite the oxymoron). A lot of atheists study evolution like some Christians study the Bible.Actually you seems to follow the scientism ideology
I predict that when she finally comes to her senses, Holy Mother Church will infallibly declare that Adam’s body was created from inanimate matter in an instant - just as Genesis 2:7 says it did. Then it will be goodbye evolution and good riddance.Pope Pius XII taught in his encyclical that "the teaching authority of the Church does not forbid that, in conformity with the present state of human sciences and sacred theology, research and discussions . . . take place with regard to the doctrine of evolution, in as far as it inquires into the origin of the human body as coming from pre-existent and living matter—[but] the Catholic faith obliges us to hold that souls are immediately created by God
In my opinion, when it comes to the origins of man and Genesis, the CCC has been corrupted by Scientism. In this respect, it is not a reliable source of sound Catholic teaching. Its bias towards the evolutionary paradigm is painfully obvious.Figuratively, not necessarily literally as the Catechism teaches, "The account of the fall in Genesis 3 uses figurative language, but affirms a primeval event, a deed that took place at the beginning of the history of man. " (CCC 390).
Yep, our eyes are so badly designed and work so poorly that we may as well not have them at all.But until then, it looks like an imperfect design to me.
God Almighty created the entire universe out of NOTHING and you have trouble believing God created Adam from dirt? That does not compute.My point exactly, thank you @LeafByNiggle ! Forcing God to only work miracles to create Adam and Eve ignores the beauty and design of nature. God normally works through nature, rarely through miracles. It is more reasonable and easier to imagine evolution than to imagine clay suddenly becoming all the compounds and elements a human body contains. Even the Eucharist doesn’t do that.
So we are led to believe you are more of an authority than the Catechism of the Catholic Church? You know better than the Catholic Church.the CCC has been corrupted by Scientism
Who said I have trouble believing that, I believe it was dirt, but came to be something else in between, before transforming into Adam.God Almighty created the entire universe out of NOTHING and you have trouble believing God created Adam from dirt?
Speculation, you don’t know the future. What do you have against evolution, seriously?I predict that when she finally comes to her senses, Holy Mother Church will infallibly declare that Adam’s body was created from inanimate matter in an instant - just as Genesis 2:7 says it did. Then it will be goodbye evolution and good riddance.
Really? So life is not a miracle?God normally works through nature, rarely through miracles
