I'm going to jump into this (very late) with some thoughts of mine:

I'm Roman Catholic, I was baptised as a baby that way. When I did reach an age/coginitive level where I could question my faith, I did. After much contemplation about Christianity and how it has related to my life, I decided that being Roman Catholic was right for me all along. I feel it is important to question your faith- and find out what conclusions you come to. In my introductory philosophy class, in a Catholic influenced university, we discussed the critical distinction that faith and knowledge are not the same thing.

In terms of the intelligent design/evolution debate- personally I like to take some from column A and some from column B...

To argue that evolution never occured is really pushing it. There is enough evidence to suggest that organisms did indeed evolve.

But to to say that takes God completly out of the equation- I don't think so. I think that evolution did occur, but that it occured because of God. As for Adam and Eve, and all the other organisms being created over six days, I think it's a narrative. It didn't literally happen that way, but the story helps to convey that God created life.

So, there's my two cents.
