Evolution Darwinism (Score 1)

Evolution may be accepted in the Christian belief of creation as much more than a theory for the simple fact that God is onipotent, so if He willed to make us evolve from a lesser human form, He could have, and probably did so. Pope John Paul the Great's acceptance of evolution as more than just an hypothesis does not mean that he accepted Darwinism. On the contrary, he condemned it as the Chruch does, for Darwinism is stating that we, as humans, evolved from apes or primates of some sort, and ultimately, from bacteria and other one-celled organisms that seem to have been here first. The Church teaches--and has done so for its over 2000 years of teaching--that we men are rational and have been given that as priveledged by God through and for His Glory. Now, how is it that man, with reason (an intellect and a will of his own), evolve from something that has neither? It didn't happen. Animals do not have intellects or wills; they have no feelings or emotions. They are sensate, yes, and they are creatures of instinct, but nothing beyond, for what they lack is a soul (that is, not in the sense that Plato or Aristotle used it to mean the 'form' of a thing, but rather, a spirit) wherein lies each person's intellect and will. Perhaps this can clear some misunderstandings up for everyone.
