The Church, which has never rejected evolution, teaches that God created the world and the natural laws by which life developed.

The Catholic Church does not believe in creationism? WOW!!!

Where did you read that?

Evolution does not address creation, evolution means change after creation.

Once one settles that little tidbit in one's own mind, then one can be quite comfortable believing in both Creation and evolution.

Simply stated, to make the argument that the Creation of everything can be boiled down to a few words, and understood by man, is actually a silly notion; if a man could grasp the complexity of His Creation and how He did it, that man would be a God.

In a nutshell, if there once existed an amoeba that was able to eventually evolve into a monkey able to evolve into man, that amoeba was created by God.

Was Creation an act of God?

Without a doubt.

Has evolution happaned in this planet?

I believe that it has...and in no way does that belief interfere with my belief in Biblical Creation.
