Hi David,
The official stance is that you can believe either:
- the theory of theistic
evolution (which holds that God used the mechanism of evolution
to create the world)
- OR Creationism,
so long as you affirm a few things:
- The soul does not evolve but is directly created by God.
- We evolved from one set of parents (monogenism).
In practice, there tends to be a slight bias toward the theistic evolution
side of things, since the Church does not meddle in science; and evolution
is the prevailing scientific view of things.
For details, you might search our knowledge base on the topic.
