I have to take this Catholicism class and the teacher said that Catholics do not believe in Adam and Eve...so do they believe in them or not?

The Catholic Church does not take the stories of creation in the Bible literally. Catholics believe the book of Genesis tells religious truth and not necessarily historical fact.
The religious truth is that God created everything and declared all was good.
The Church supports science in the discovery of God's creation. At this time, the theory of evolution is the most logical scientific explanation. However tomorrow someone may come up with a better idea.
As long as we believe that God started the whole thing, both the Bible and modern science can live in harmony.
With love in Christ.

That's foolish - Pope Pius XII stated that Catholics could believe in evolution, as long as they accepted Adam and Eve as the first two human beings. It's Catholic dogma to believe in Adam and Eve as the first two people whom existed.

We absolutely beliebe in a literal and true Adam and Eve.
Without a specific soul by the name of Adam, there would be no personal responsibility for original sin, no fallen mankind, and no need for a sinless and perfect redeemer.
Anyone who teaches otherwise is a heretic.

they do. what i don't like about catholics tho is that they worship mary. not honor worship. it's not honoring someone when you say 'Hail'. that's idol worship, so is them praying to, not thru, the saints.
