Well now, I went to Catholic school from K-12. We learned evolution in science class, we learned religion in religion class. We got an amazing education, in fact, college was a joke to me, 4 years of minimal work and a degree to boot.

Why do Catholics not believe in creationism? Probably because we embrace learning, logic, science and free thought, and we aren't so terrified that some actual data may destroy our faith.

But, if you want to believe in Noah's ark, go ahead, just don't teach your fables in public schools.

why not? They teach the fable of evolution in schools- and besides- IF you cared to look into the matter further- you WOULD see there is plenty of evidences that support design and creation and discount and expose the fables they teach us in schools regarding evolution and origen.

"Why do Catholics not believe in creationism?"

Catholics DO believe in creationism. As a Catholic myself, I follow the Papal teachings, and the Catechism is also central to my faith.

To claim you are a Catholic who does not believe that God created the earth and mankind is akin to claiming you are a vegetarian while eating a steak dinner.

I don't know what kind of Catholic upbringing you have had, but I'm sure its aligned with that of the Kennedy's and Kerry's who think their Catholic Church supports abortion.

You cannot be a Catholic by proxy, or by mere proclamation. It is not a birthright, You are not Catholic because you went to Catholic school. You can only be Catholic by following doctrine, and by accepting Pontifical edicts and Vatican proclamation, and to my current knowledge, the Vatican has not accepted Darwin, but still to this day promotes that God created the universe.
