I was never taught this, and Ive been through about 13 years of catholic school. What was taught to us is that the bible was written by man, and not to be taken literally. There are FUNDAMENTALIST christians that believe it, but thats a fairly small group of people. We I got out of my schooling is that, we evolved, teh science as far as that goes is undeniable, but at some point where science fails to explain where everything came from, there is something higher that created it (ie the begining of the universe or whatever), and thats where faith comes in.


edit: I am under the imression that most christians do not actually believe that we were made from adam and eve

I concur that this is the basic catholic belief. (Except I think you ARE supposed to take most of the bible literally, just not the first few books.)

Do most christians agree? I think so.

That's silly. A hell of a lot of people were raised in a certain religion, and will respond that they are "of" that religion when asked, even if they rarely set foot in church/temple/etc and don't adhere to/believe in half the teachings. I'd guess true agnostic is closer to 50% than 16%.
