That's not what the bible says. Read genesis. It's quite clear. And if you start saying "Well, that's just an analogy...", what parts of the bible CAN you believe?

As a Catholic, I'm "permitted" to believe in Evolution provided I acknowledge the following:

1. God did it!
2. He did it freely!
3. He did if from Nothing (Ex Nihilo)
4. At some time during the process, He intervened in order to infuse man with an immortal soul.

While I may have had a rather "radical" priest as an instructor, I was led to believe that certain parts of the Bible (like Genesis and Noah's Ark) can be thought of as "Aetological Myths", which may or may not be strictly factual, but contain deeper, indisputable truths.

Anyway, I believe in God but still want to learn as much about Evolution as possible, just to bolster my own arguments for Intelligent Design.

Oh! And you have taken it upon yourself to be the arbiter of what the Bible says?
