I read your link. If people take the time to read something I write and bother to reply, I owe them the courtesy to read what they link.
The official Church stance on evolution has, if you will forgive the pun, evolved. http://www.lastseminary.com/genesis-modern-science/Evolutionary%20Creation.pdf is a good summary of the position that
“Today, the Church’s unofficial position is an example of theistic evolution, also known as evolutionary creation, stating that faith and scientific findings regarding human evolution are not in conflict, though humans are regarded as a special creation, and that the existence of God is required to explain both monogenism and the spiritual component of human origins. Moreover, the Church teaches that the process of evolution is a planned and purpose-driven natural process, actively guided by God.”
Gahh! I hate it when I hit post instead of preview!
Sorry, to continue:
Physical and biological processes are pretty well understood on the macro level now. We even know there are things we can never know - things that will forever be solely known by God.
Evolution has a mass of evidence for it. There is also a mass of evidence that it proceeds as God himself directs, even for the minor species.
Yet some things cannot be explained by evolution on it’s own. The soul, for example. Why do I have one and my cat (an extraordinarily affectionate beast) does not?
The timeline itself. 3 billion years is a long time, but simply not long enough for evolution to produce the diversity we have today without a few nudges.
Heck, life itself, that conversion of inanimate chemicals into something that eats, grows and breeds is simply impossible without God.
Creation has it’s problems too.
Extinctions, for one. We have living organisms that have been unchanged for millions of years. We have ones that simply no longer exist. Ones we have records of as having existed and simply disappeared.
As I said in the post. I have no interest in changing minds. That is not my job, or my desire. I found some interesting correllations between the Word and what we think we know.
