Cardinal Schonborn is da man!    I highly reccommend to anyone interested in this subject to read his catecheses about evolution.

thanks for the link to the articles myles, I'll read up!

seems like most people are pretty much in agreement, that you can have evolution and still have God 'creating' our souls, breathing life into us at some point.

Sorry no, I think you've got darwinism mixed up with catholicism. You know, all that "be fruitful and multiply" and "contraceptives are evil" stuff.

I think that if you look at much of the recent evidence found it is pointing toward biblical creationism. But I guess it would be how we interpret it. Some good examples of this are:

- They have found several skeletons of early humans, that is, walking up right like we do and similar size bones, that pre-date all previous "missing link" or supposed original bones found (they probably were gorilla like animals in the first place.

- They have found evidence that the entire earth was at one time covered in water. For instance on the summit of Everest you will find fossils of an ancient coral reef and shell like fossils in the rock. And also on the yellow band there are fish fossils as well.

- There has been evidence of a great flood, destroyed petrified forest found in the Sonoma desert (Arizona) looking like water washed the trees away, the middle east has trace element that a great flood covered much of the area.

Marine fossils on Everest do not mean the entire Earth was at one time covered in water. It simply means that the rocks making up Everest were at one time the bottom of an ocean. The Himalayas are one of the newest mountain ranges in the world (hence their being so big). In plate tectonics, when two plates run into each other, one usually goes on top and the other goes underneath, pushing the top one farther and farther up. Things were not always as they appear today.
