Colin Donovan cut me off. They would not let me finish what I had to say.
HE was wrong he has been blinded by the devil. Do not listen to a thing he says, he has NO authority given to him by the Church to answer the questions in regard to Adam and Eve.
BTW Adam is a Hebrew name, meaning “Of The Earth” or came from the dirt.
Colin mentions Humani Generis apparently he had not read the entire document but only is repeating what “bad” science has told him. IN Humani Generis it states in the paragraphs after Pope PiusXII states that this can be debated in paragraph 36 For these reasons the Teaching Authority of the Church does not forbid that, in conformity with the present state of human sciences and sacred theology, research and discussions, on the part of men experienced in both fields. BUT yes a BIG BUT but he also calls Evolution erroneous numerous times, meaning it is errored in the last 6 paragraphs of that Encyclical the Pope warns not to teach this to seminarians or children. DOES that matter? YES, the TRUTH always matters. Dei Verbum a “DOGMATIC CONSTITUTION by Pope Paul VI in 1965 states in paragraph#11. Those divinely revealed realities which are contained and presented in Sacred Scripture have been committed to writing under the inspiration of the Holy Spirit. For holy mother Church, relying on the belief of the Apostles (see John 20:31; 2 Tim. 3:16; 2 Peter 1:19-20, 3:15-16), holds that the books of both the Old and New Testaments in their entirety, with all their parts, are sacred and canonical because written under the inspiration of the Holy Spirit, they have God as their author and have been handed on as such to the Church herself.#16. God, the inspirer and author of both Testaments, wisely arranged that the New Testament be hidden in the Old and the Old be made manifest in the New. (2) For, though Christ established the new covenant in His blood (see Luke 22:20; 1 Cor. 11:25), still the books of the Old Testament with all their parts, caught up into the proclamation of the Gospel, (3) acquire and show forth their full meaning in the New Testament (see Matt. 5:17; Luke 24:27; Rom. 16:25-26; 2 Cor. 14:16) and in turn shed light on it and explain it.:HOW THE DOES THIS WORK IF ADAM WAS EVOLVED FROM A BEAST, THIS WOULD MAKE JESUS HUMAN NATURE A BEAST? OUR LADY WOULD BE A LIAR AT LOURDES WHERE SHE SAID “I AM THE IMMACULATE CONCEPTION” THEE ONLY ONE. IF ADAM EVOLVED FROM A BEAST THIS WOULD MAKE HIM AN IMMACULATE CONCEPTION IN THE WOMB OF A BEAST. WOULD THIS ALSO MAKE OUR LADY, A BEAST ALSO????
ASK YOURSELF DO FACTS AND TRUTH MATTER, GOD SAYS IT DOES
The Baltimore Catechism, DOGMATIC CONSTITUTION
ON DIVINE REVELATION DEI VERBUM and Humani Generis speak extensively about believing in the Inerrant Words of the Holy Bible and that they have to believed.
The Baltimore Catechism #3
Q. 238. How was Adam’s body formed?
A. God formed Adam’s body out of the clay of the earth and then breathed into it a living soul.
IS THIS CLEAR?
Q. Q. 241. Could man’s body be developed from the body of an inferior animal?
A. Man’s body could be developed from the body of an inferior animal if God so willed; but science does not prove that man’s body was thus formed, while revelation teaches that it was formed directly by God from the clay of the earth.
IS THIS CLEAR FOR THOSE WHO CAN READ?
Dei Verbum Dogmatic Constitution
First paragraph states:
Therefore, following in the footsteps of the Council of Trent and of the First Vatican Council, this present council wishes to set forth authentic doctrine on divine revelation and how it is handed on, so that by hearing the message of salvation the whole world may believe, by believing it may hope, and by hoping it may love. (1)
(1) cf. St. Augustine,”De Catechizandis Rudibus,” C.IV 8: PL. 40, 316.Chapter I Article 2:
Paragraph #24:
Sacred theology RESTS ON THE WRITTEN WORD OF GOD, together with sacred tradition, as its primary and perpetual foundation.
Paragraph #25
Therefore, all the clergy must hold fast to the Sacred Scriptures through diligent sacred reading and careful study, especially the priests of Christ and others, such as deacons and catechists who are legitimately active in the ministry of the word. This is to be done so that none of them will become “an empty preacher of the word of God outwardly, who is not a listener to it inwardly” (4)

Humani Generis
Paragraph#3
It is for this reason that divine revelation must be considered morally necessary so that those religious and moral truths which are not of their nature beyond the reach of reason in the present condition of the human race, may be known by all men readily with a firm certainty and with freedom from all error.

I WANT MR. DONOVAN TO SHOW ME WHERE IN THE BIBLE IT SAYS WE HAVE TO BELIEVE IN SCIENCE. BUT IT DOES SAY IN THE BIBLE YOU HAVE TO BELIEVE THE INFALLIBLE WORDS OF GOD INSPIRED BY THE THIRD PERSON OF THE HOLY TRINITY THE HOLY SPIRIT.
