Fundamental difference between Catholic and Christians anymore. Call a Catholic a christian, and find out.

The Catholic church, ergo the Papacy, changed its views on evolution a long time ago. In the 80's the Catholic church was teaching in Biology, that science shows indisputable evidence of the earths age, its pre-history, and provides clues into our natural progression from a common great ape ancestor.

The twist was always, while evolution is scientifically sound, the question of why evolution was pushed this way becomes the theological debate. It was He who has no name, that guided the universe to produce these places where what we refer to as "life" to exist. It is that cosmic power which gave this planet the catalyst to give birth to life, and it is furthermore from that guidance, that human kind was born.
While science may show "how" it happened, it is "God" that made it happen.

Try taking AP Biology from a progressive Nun.
