>>>I tend to treat the story of Adam and Eve as more than a total allegory
and Ibelieve that "good and evil" were placed in mankind via a direct
interaction with god. This, for no other reason than it makes some sense to
me. Of course Glenn would argue that the timing is all wrong.
I believe that the RC church takes a position like that with respect to
evolution.<<<
Just to clarify the matter, the RCC takes the position that soul, imbued
with the knowledge of good and evil, was specially and instantaneously
created (and still is everyday when a new human being forms in the womb),
Pius XII, Humani Generis 36.
No allowance for the 'evolution' of the soul - and therefore moral
knowledge - is made. And I don't see how it could be.
