Huh? That isn't proving it, that's just providing evidence for it. I'm Catholic but I believe in the theory of evolution, even the most recent pope says you can be Catholic and believe in the theory of evolution.

And growing up I went to a Catholic school, and they taught us about the theory of evolution and Charles Darwin in Science class. Even my religion teacher believed in the theory of evolution (he never confirmed this, but he always would say that "God set up an entire line of dominos and by pushing one of them, he started a chain of things when time began".

The Bible isn't a history book. It's a book of stories. Stories that teach us about morality and how things came to be. The Creation Story of Adam and Eve tells us how sin came to be, why women experience pain at child birth, why we aren't just born to be in Heaven, and how Satan (in the form of a serpent) is always trying to persuade us to turn against God.

The story of Cain and Abel shows how murder came to be. When Cain killed his brother, murder and death entered into the world. We also know Cain killed his brother out of jealousy.

The Bible is not meant to be a history book. Even the New Testament doesn't tell us much about Jesus's personal life. We only read about what he taught and what he said.

I could be saying the wrong stuff and just setting myself up for eternity in hell, but that's what I believe.
