Jesus refers to God creating male and female and creating the world many times in the Gospels. How can a church believe in evolution, the random, accidental origin of life in light of Jesus's own words?

The theory of evolution says nothing whatsoever regarding the origin of life, much less that it was necessarily random and/or accidental.

Some beliefs are faith-based. Other beliefs are science-based. With respect to the latter, I'm sure that the Vatican also believes in gravity and that the earth revolves around the sun.

Because it isn't accidental if God did it. If God started evolution, and guided it, how does evolution discount God? ID proponents and atheists (and allies) are the only people who remove God from evolution. The rest of us aren't nearly so brazen as to pronounce "No, God didn't do it like that."
