Kids in Catholic school learn evolution and that God created everything.

That is what I learned in Catholic school 50 years ago. I imagine it is no different today.

There is no conflict in my mind between evolution and creation. I accept in both.

“There is no conflict in my mind between evolution and creation. I accept in both.” [excerpt]
Darwinian evolution asserts that all life evolved from a single life from, through purely natural processes, including natural selection, and that, from the very beginning, there was death and suffering.

Supernatural creation asserts that God created all life and all kinds of animals, and that from the beginning, everything was perfect in a complete absence of death.

Only through the sin of Adam did death and suffering enter the world, bringing with it the need for redemption.


If everything evolved and there has been death from the beginning and Adam's sin did not cause death to enter the world, then Christ's death on the cross becomes moot.
