I’m pretty sure the pope is not talking about humans evolving from single cell orgs that made it out of the ooz.

He is, actually. The fact that your own mind has trouble conceptualizing the scale of evolution is a problem for you, not for science, for God, or the Pope for that matter.

It's the other way around, in fact. Evolution always falls apart when we get into the fine details. The immense complexity of even the smallest of organisms makes it quite difficult for even the most intelligent evolutionists to explain how exactly they "evolved" via natural selection, since many of the things we take for granted are actually highly complex even in their simplest forms, thus making it necessary that it "evolved" all at once, perfectly working the very first time.

You’re wound awful tight. I don’t know you so I don’t know what struggles you are facing; however, I’m having a very nice day. Because you want to be nasty and combative, I cannot let you influence my life. Please do not respond to me again, and have a blessed day.
