Catholic concern about evolution has always been very largely concerned with the implications of evolutionary theory for the origin of the human species; even by 1859, the Church did not insist on a literal reading of the Book of Genesis, which had long been undermined by developments in geology and other fields. No high-level Church pronouncement has ever attacked head-on the theory of evolution as applied to non-human species. The early Church Fathers taught creationism... however modern literal creationism has had little support among the higher levels of the Church.

Remember folks, religion is not bad. Religious people who are also narrow-minded are bad.

I've never gotten why creationism can't get along with evolution. The way I've seen it is God creates the matter from nothing, which then explodes (Big Bang) and scatters throughout the universe, and everything goes from there.

not bodaciously

however, taking the old testament as what it really is, which is mostly metaphors, the bible says nothing on the subject

On the subject of Creation? Because that's bodaciously the FIRST THING it talks about.

the subject being evolution

there's no mention against evolution at all in genesis, when taken as a story and not a factual retelling

The bible does say that he created humans out of nothing (well, dirt). Not that he took apes and gave them a soul and thus humans were created or whatever anyone could think of to talk about evolution as a metaphor.

Ian Mckellen was asked to play Dumbledore in the Harry Potter movies after Richard Harris died. Mckellen refused however as he thought playing Gandalf was too much of a similar role and he thought it would be inappropriate as Harris had called him a "dreadful actor" before.

We could have had Gandaldorfeto, but alas.
