I absolutely believe in evolution. Is there any other way? There was no "Adam and Eve". Don't take everything in the bible literally. Symbolism is rampant in the bible. Also, the bible was written over many years and many years after Christ's death. Everyone knows the Catholic church was corrupt in the Middle Ages. Don't you think the religious leaders back then could change some passages to sway the opinion of followers? Also, I believe that "God/Allah/Whatever" guided our evolution in a way that would work with nature. We are always evolving. Everything evolves. Viruses, Bacteria, etc. Aren't we a little bit smarter than humans 400 years ago? Apes and Humans are primates. We are alike. However, that doesn't mean one will evolve to another. Look at a penguin and a hawk. Both bird species. Different right? A greater being put each of us on this Earth for a reason. Everything has it's own niche. /my two cents edit: In short, I believed God sparked evolution and guided it. And don't read the bible in literal interpretation. You have to look closer, more deeply into the meaning of things. edit2: I'm 100% Catholic. Went to a Catholic school. Taught religion by nuns and priests.

Good for you, but the Catholic Church has realized it's mistakes, and has fixed it self!

If God is possible, creationism is possible.. fyi we aren't actually smarter than we were 400 years ago?

Everyone has their own beliefs.

What you said isn't possible. If you believe in a christian God, you believe that the Bible are His words, meaning that you believe that there was an Adam and Eve.

It all usually comes in a package. If you doubt one thing then the question comes up. "If x was wrong then isn't it possible that y can be wrong too?"

You don't have to believe in creationism. Creationism is the broad idea of how this world came out to be, manifested through each religion. You don't always need to have one of your own.

Also, I believe that "God/Allah/Whatever" guided our evolution in a way that would work with nature. I believe the same thing, although I believe in Adam and Eve as well.
