Evolution is NOT a system of belief. I don’t “believe” in evolution; I believe in God and the Catholic faith. Evolution is, to put it simply, “a process that results in heritable changes in a population spread over many generations.”

No one here has issues with that definition. It is one of adaptation which by the way leads to speciation.
 
It’s really funny watching the creationist troofers running in circles

And I again want to ask, if evolution is so uncertain or false, then why did the Vatican sponsor a forum where it not only invited pro-evolution scientists and scholars, but refused to invite even one creationist proponent?

All Catholics by definition are creationists. Are you?

No they are not. “Creationist” is someone who believes God made the Universe and all animals in exactly 7 Solar days, “Creationist” and the general concept of creation are 2 entirely different things.

The why has already been commented upon by scientists: You are the product of a cold, uncaring universe that did not have you in mind.

See the journal Evolutionary Psychology to see how you are not you, your genes decide.

I can get you an article where scientists say religion was an invention of man/our genes; one of those adaptive behaviors on our way from becoming primitive to “modern.”

No, science is being misused to attempt to overthrow faith. It will not work, of course, but a heavy marketing program is currently going on, which is needlessly confusing some.

Peace,

There are, indeed, those who, want to push their unGodly view of God’s creation. But, it does not, and cannot, change what is true.

At the same time, our frustration with those who attempt to do so should not affect how we view what science uncovers.

Well, I would think the “scientist” should not speculate on the miracle of the loaves and fishes, unless he happens also to be a Christian, in which case he believes the miracle and doesn’t spend a lot of time thinking about it.

God has given us the gift of reason with which we are slowly finding answers about His wonderful Creation - the How, which science can begin to address, not the Why, which is left to faith.

But why do scientists even try to elaborate a story how man originated when it is a mystery involving God (the supernatural) like the loaves and fish - something involving the supernatural, which science can not even explain as it is involved solely in the natural realm?

From the Catholic Encyclopedia:

Creationism

Do you agree with the definition in the widest sense?

I didn’t know that creationists measured “days” in solar days. Then I guess I can not feel comfortable calling myself a creationist any longer. There wasn’t even a sun on the first day, so how could the first day be measured by the sun? I’m not an evolutionist either.

God’s true words can transcend time. The simplicity of Genesis is exactly why we should pay attention to it. It could be understood then and now.

True. However, Genesis is not a science textbook, but a beautiful account of what God did, told in figurative language. God’s time is not our time, and “six days” may be billions of years.

So, with what, exactly, do you have issues?/quo

A reconciliation with the following dogmas:

Adam and Eve are our first parents
All are descended from this first pair
Eve came from Adam
Bodily immortality
Freedom from irregular desire
Freedom from sickness and pain
Infused knowledge
Preternatural Gifts Adam received were for all his posterity

Polygenism

I don’t believe all creationists measure the 7 days of the creation story in solar days. I will still consider myself a creationist.

I’m not sure I really understand what you are asking.

Scientists don’t “elaborate stories” but employ the scientific method to learn about the natural world. Those who try to overstep their boundaries in order to attempt to push their atheist philosophy are, plainly, wrong.

Nothing that is discovered through science can contradict that which is revealed by faith.

Evolution contradicts none of those, for the second time already

The word “yom” was permitted in 1909 to allow that it had broader uses. Read in context it means a day.

The Six Days of Creation From This Rock Magazine. Read it thoroughly, then read the rebuttal.

Does the 1994 Catholic Catechism Say that
a Symbolic Interpretation of the Creation Story is Now “Official”?
A Response to James Akin
 
What about this so called missing link? do any of you believe this to be The Missing Link, if so why and if not why.

None of the Catholic posters I’ve encountered in these forums take issue with these; these are Catholic dogmas. I think we’ve been over this before.
