“It doesn’t say it because there’s no reason to think it. When you start dreaming about intermediate forms, then ideas of other species may come into play which denigrate the dignity with which God created
You find a lack of dignity in evolution and it doesn’t square with how you read Genesis. The Catholic church doesn’t see it that way. Even if I weren’t Catholic, I wouldn’t either. Also the Church has long had a method for seeking understanding based on the kind of knowledge being sought, seeing Theology as a greater science and philosophy as a lesser one. Both are considered attempts to discern truth, the one looking at the first cause of all things being theology.
It's not just me that reads Genesis and believes what is written there and in the rest of the Bible. Millions throughout the ages have considered the Bible to be the Word of God as Jesus Himself regarded it.
Speaking of marriage Jesus said "from the beginning God created them male and female". He was not approached about apes...he was approached about the question of divorce among people. Jesus spoke of Noah as an historical person; yet still many think of Noah as a myth. Too many people think they're wiser than Scripture. That's an impossibility.
All pursuit of knowledge can be an exercise in discovering more about God whether it's philosophy, theology or any other area of learning. There are many disciplines but all roads will lead to God if followed with integrity.
