"Created, yet at the same time evolved from something ‘less’."

Are you saying that God was not capable of creating physical processes to bring about His creation? Are you saying that you know HOW God created instead of simply acknowledging THAT He created?

"So, again, where in that evolutionary ladder did that spiritual immortal soul get endowed?"

One or two sentence answers will not do the question or the answer justice. I would encourage you to read "In the Beginning...: A Catholic Understanding of the Story of Creation and the Fall" written by Cardinal Ratzinger (Now Pope Benedict XVI). Excerpts can be found here:

That's the claim you make when YOU tell us how God did it and that we are wrong.

I am saying that God gave us His Word, so that we may know Him, seek Him.

Neither will I read Charles Darwin and his screed. The Bible is sufficelnt in this.

We are to be as a little child in our belief. What does that mean? It means being as a child and believing in what your ‘parent’ tells you.

We are to walk by Faith, not sight. I care not what construction of remains is used to try to say that man grew out of something less. That is not what God had Moses write, that is not what happened. Faith says man was Created, with a big ‘C’. Animals reproduce ‘after their kind’, not into a new kind. Dogs come from dogs, and will not be a frog, even if you keep them in a pond for millenia.

And non-man animals did not ‘give rise’ to man. Genesis does not say that God created a small primate, and through the guidance of the Holy Spirit, this creature mated, grew, changed until it looked sotra like Gods image, and God saw it was good, so here, have a soul.
