I think that the whole discussion about evolution is moot, because if there is a God, he could well have used evolution to create life as just magically make it appear. After all, the laws that Newton discovered seem to be used to make the Earth orbit the sun... etc...

@LordShadowfire Darwin probably did! He was an ordained minister after all.

@Pikachu The catholic church pretends to accept the Theory of Evolution (because they realised that they’re looking ridiculous), but in fact the catholic church:
1. denies that evolution applies to humans
2. touts what it calls 'theistic evolution'... the unsupported and completely superfluous claim that a magical entity directs evolution in order to support some or other goal i.e. that evolution is both teleological and subject to magic.
Either of those bastardisations mean that whatever it is that they claim to accept, it isn't the theory of Evolution by Natural Selection.
To cover their duplicity, they try to create a straw-man called 'biological evolution' (there's some other sort?) and to then differentiate that from 'theistic evolution'... in other words, to deliberately create confusion in the minds of the public by foisting upon them a distinction without a difference.

There are people who believe that the recent war crimes committed by the Russian military in the Ukraine are nothing but a false flag operation carried out by the Nazi-run Ukrainian government and their Jewish Prime minister.
At the very least, that proves evolution also works in reverse.
