In his book on Genesis, written before becoming pope, Cardinal Ratzinger wrote,

We cannot say: creation or evolution, inasmuch as these two things respond to two different realities. The story of the dust of the Earth and the breath of God [portrayed in Genesis] … does not in fact explain how human persons come to be but rather what they are. It explains their inmost origin and casts light on the project that they are. And, vice versa, the theory of evolution seeks to understand and describe biological developments. But in so doing it cannot explain where the “project” of human persons comes from, nor their inner origin, nor their particular nature. To that extent we are faced here with two complementary—rather mutually exclusive—realities.25
