You would have to ask the pope what he believes.

Personally I find evolution and creation consistent, as evolution is a manifestation of the Lord's creation. At one point God placed a soul in man. Before the soul don't particularly care what he/it was.

But I've always had a hankering for bananas and picking head lice from my friends.

Are you suggesting we can disregard the details of the process as given to us in Holy Writ? Can we trust Scripture that says, “For Adam was formed first, then Eve?” Perhaps then Jesus, the last Adam, was not really born of a virgin or raised from the dead. Those things don’t happen in an evolutionary model.

I'll go with that. It's what the 'image and likeness' seems to say. But Adam sinned and sin is not part of God's image and likeness. So did Adam have a soul when he was created? did Eve? Angels made man, perhaps on trial. Someday we'll know??
