In my late teens and early twenties I persued answers from my religious leaders to many ultimate questions.
In the very late 1950's I posed the question of evolution to my Catholic parish priest. He gave me an answer that continues to satisfy me to this day.
I paraphrase: "Evolution may be valid if at some point along the way God decided to infuse a soul to that being at some point." That answer continues to satisfy me in a general way.
The Catholic church cannot infer what God has done when they do not know. Therefore they must continuously modify their statements to make sure that they do not assign to God what isn't valid. Nor can they deny.
"In China" -- hah!
The interplay between faith and science, God and his creation, is a fascinating one. Thank you for your comment. Merry Christmas!

Don't you mean Science cannot infer what God has done when they do not know?
After all, science is based on inference not fact and often not good logic.
