All Catholic and Most Christian schools teach evolution as a theory, because it IS a theory. It is unproved but has some fascinating aspects that suggest it is a possibility that life forms evolve into different life forms over the course of many Melania.
This belief doesn't mean that there isn't a God. If God is all knowing, all seeing and is infinite with no beginning and no end, it is logical that he would take billions of years to complete and act out his creations. The fact that atheists deny any possibility of a creator shows their non bending faith in a less than scientific approach to the argument. The fatcthat they will not even entertain the idea that there may be an Intelligent Designer to the Universe gives too much credit to random unexplainable events and existences. Most Atheist show more faith in theirnon-god than religious people show in their Creator.
Oy, Jim, you’re in trouble now! I floated the idea a few weeks ago that Catholics don’t get worked up about evolution and every holy roller and Catholic-hater came out to bash me over the head! Better get a helmet.
