As a layman, I wouldn’t know, and unless you are a trained paleontologist, neither would you.

It was a little boy who yelled “The Emperor has no clothes!”

You are relying on the word of paleontologists to tell you what is human and what isn’t. Of course, it isn’t possible that although the vast majority of the world’s most influential paleontologists are almost certainly atheists, their judgement would be skewed by any a priori committment to evolution.
They don’t put things in the Smithsonian unless they are verified as being authentic with a battery of tests. They don’t mislabel bones.

This a rather naive point of view, imo.

Totally possibly but not probable. Besides, that is a genetic fallacy: everything that atheists say is prejudiced and biased to support their philosophy. An atheist scientist can and often does speak the truth, even though he doesn’t believe in God.

I agree. Not “everything”, but certainly “some”.

Agreed, the problem is knowing whether the data in question is in fact misrepresented by one of those “some”.

That is your interpretation. You can’t insist that everyone interpret Genesis the way you do.

What a surprise - another evo-Catholic denying the clear meaning of Scripture!

Please explain how Adam could “return” to inanimate matter if he never was inanimate matter?

It is figurative.
And please tell me how Genesis 3:23 can be reconciled with Adam being the offspring of a living creature - “Therefore the Lord God sent him (Adam) forth from the garden of Eden, to till the ground from which he was taken.”

Again, figurative. Genesis is in figurative language. The truths it expresses are not these scientific details.

What is to prevent the faithful from such an interpretation?

If a figurative interpretation is the only interpretation, there is no room for a literal interpretation.

It is not the “only” interpretation.

Watch out @LeafByNiggle,@edwest211 might tell you to stop because you are “bothering Catholics” by talking about evolution.
 
They record events that did happen. One of these events was Eve coming from Adam.
 
What are the only methods that can direct date fossils? and the maximum years before present?

To an eternal entity like God, billions of years is instantly, it is 0% of God’s lifetime.

You have completley missed my point: Why would a loving God choose a process billions of years of suffering, violence and death when all that misery and horror could be avoided by instead using instantaneous creation?

As I said to you before and which you ignored:

“For My thoughts are not your thoughts, Nor are your ways My ways,” declares the LORD. “For as the heavens are higher than the earth, So are My ways higher than your ways And My thoughts than your thoughts.” - Isaiah 55:8-9

Think about that the next time you try to reason out an argument based on “why would God do such a thing?”

Your God of evolution must be a sadist - billions of years of suffering and misery and death under evolution could have been avoided with a snap of his fingers - ie, instantaneous creation

You are not addressing the Isaiah verses that explain this very well.
 
I grew out of infantile hero-worship many decades ago. And for your information, no saint was ever impeccable or infallible in everything they said and did. JP II did many good things, but his inter-faith nonsense wasn’t among them.

I do not think you are up to speed on the latest about evolution.

The fossil record shows abrupt appearance, stasis and variation within.
The DNA record has felled the tree of life.

Are you even aware of these two?

You are speaking of the interpretation of the fossil record as fed to you by ID proponents.
