What can we make of the huge gap in time after Adam and Eve

Genesis is literal.

So you are a young earther?

You could have simply quoted and responded to my whole post, but instead you cherry picked a quote out of context to distort my position.

Your response to my question would do much to clarify my understanding of your position.

I’m not a young earther because I believe Genesis is describing our creation and development in terms appropriate to a bronze age culture. I think it is truthful but not literal in defining the family tree.

Yep… the phantom 'young earth creationist" club…
is hurled as an age-olde boring juvenile perjorative and meaningless exampled representation
of someone’s so-called Bio-Sciences acumen?

There must be something in that document that talks about how the word of God is veiled, and how the Church attempts to interpret scripture apart from the literary and historical research. For example, the parables that Jesus told require a certain amount of interpretation which is mostly beyond what literary and historical research can provide.

I think that this is what the document means when it talks about the “task of exegesis”. It includes literary and historical research, but isn’t limited to it alone.

It’s all good, we all have free will to believe what we want.

Remember: free will isn’t about doing “what we want”, but rather, about the ability to do what is right.

Okay…

Free Will is our ability to will however we will.

God Asks of us to will to align our will with His Will.

We are Free to will to – or - to not will to…
