[StJacques]

". . . But if one accepts that homo sapiens are a splendid accident of evolution, and God was only there to create the processes that allowed it to happen, by accident, than we have a species created in "God's image" or whatever the correct term is, that was an accident. . . ."

To use the term "splendid accident" is to deny God's omniscience, which true Catholics never do. Roman Catholicism holds that all creation is teleologically oriented (driven to a final point) which God has planned from the beginning and has always known how it would be achieved.

[Torie]

Is the mechanism by which it is driven to a final point, simply an eternal mystery, not for science to address? That seems a bit fuzzy to me.
