Speaking for Catholicism, religion does not try and explain the "how". In a literal sense it does, but 90% of the bible is metaphorical, but people don't seem to understand that. I remember my religion teacher becoming very flustered when students kept interpreting the Adam and Eve story as literal, and most of them also perceived practicing Catholics as taking it literally, too.
the thing that i never understood is that if someone believes Adam and Eve to be a true story, how do they handle the fact that we would all be inbreds then?
