The Church teaches that they don't truly know if God created the world in 6, 24 hr daysbut He could have but that however long it took God created it and created us and created our souls.
Exactly right.
The Church stresses what is important...that God DID do the creating - and only God knows exactly what tools He used to create with.
If it turns out that God used evolution as a tool...that really isn't evolution in the true "random" sense - but is actually intelligent design. I won't argue with Him if I find out this is how He did it (ya know...after we die and get all those "answers" that probably won't matter much to us then)
If it turns out He literally formed creatures by His hand right out of the mud - each and every creature in this fashion...well, I won't argue there either.
