Yeah it's important to remember that the Catholic church as well as most other large mainstream churches like Protestant, (Lutheran?) don't teach creationism in this sense. It's just the wacky offshoots usually evengelical and/or puritan in nature. They have a ton of names. The easiest way to tell if someone follows it is if they respond 'Christian' when asked what branch of Christianity they follow. Some dont even know or agree that Catholisicm is a Christian religion.
Don't even arguing about the history of Christianity with them. As painful as discussing evolution.
