The debate on human origin is a long one
I don't think it is debated anymore. Even the pope said we evolved, just under god's guidance.
Quote
Pope Francis: In 2014, Pope Francis said that evolution and the Catholic church's teaching on creation are both compatible. He also said that:
Evolution is real
The big bang does not contradict the divine act of creation
God created humans and let them develop according to internal laws
God is not a magician
Evolution is real

So god created the initial spark of life and we evolved into humans. Your god loves you as much as he loves bacteria, maybe less since you are a far far far descendant.
