but the work does solve some long-standing, mostly-philosophical debates about the origin and spread of life.

But that is an extremely minority position. Most people, including most Christians, who read Genesis, see a conflict with science.
Not true at all. The Catholic Church has no official position on evolution and its 1.1 billion followers are free to take any position they wish vis a vis evolution. And the majority do not see a conflict between God and science.

Depends on one's perspective, doesn't it?

Where did I even hint at anything remotely suggesting that? (besides, it depends on what type of evolution you're referring to :wink:).
Let us proclaim the mystery of our faith: Christ has died, Christ is risen, Christ will come again.

Lord I am not worthy that you should enter under my roof, but only say the word and my soul shall be healed.
