There is nothing unscientific in believing in a supreme being AND evolution (in all its miriad permutations and possibilities).
As a Catholic the 2 are not mutually exclusive.
The Lord works in myterious ways.
That isn’t a basic assumption of those who believe in God’s inspired word. We are as we always have been, and adapt to our environment within the limits built into that original design.
The only “evolution” as far as the church is concerned, is our evolution into being wiser children of God, that we learn from past generations that sin always leads to ruin, that when nations turn away from God and return to pagan ways they romove themselves from the protection of God’s grace.
As the record shows, we don’t aren’t really any more advanced, changed, smarter than we were since the biblical record begins. Man has built great cities, developed building techniques that that are still amazing by todays standards.
Only in the last 200 years, -100 especially- have we been on a rapid development spree. The reason for this is because we’ve been able to retain a relatively stable society, and several generations of living knowledge that we can collectively draw on. We are born with the same ability to learn as we were from the beginning of the biblical record.
If something were to happen and we lost our libraries and generations of the living professionals, teachers, doctores, electricians, engineers etc, we would step back into history accordance to the level of retained knowlage.
We may even be worse off because we have lost a lot of the know-how that was needed in those time to survive. How to build things for ourselves, care for horses and livestock, grow our own good, etc.
You do know many of the fundies here on FR don't consider RC's as christian? In their eyes you're almost as bad as an evil scientist, and only slightly better than a islamderthal or heathen.
“The Lord works in myterious ways.”
But not really in ths case. Genesis 1 tells us how He did it, and he did not use evolution at all.
