Perhaps.

If anything, it’s a useful resource for others here 😃
 
Since you’re so intellectually superior, answer this simple question.
Why would God give us false information?
Why are you leaving open the possibility that God gave us false information? Maybe it’s not false at all, and you’re simply not understanding it the way God meant for you to understand it.
 
I’ve taken science classes, I’ve built machines for NASA. I have scientific cognitive ability. Science has not discovered that the Earth took any longer than 6 days to build.
 
I’m done for the evening. My wife is calling me up to bed. She’s got this thing about me staying up late at the computer and then listening to me complain about being tired the next morning.
So long, and thanks for all the fish.
 
Why would God tell us 6 days if it was not?
Have you ever tried to explain trigonometry to a 1st grader? Remember who God was revealing this information to. They would have never grasped what we now know about the origins of the universe.
 
Why not just say He created it rather than build it around a Creation myth?
 
Is this the way that Catholics conduct themselves during discussions about holy scripture? Or is it just you specifically who is irreverent? I’m trying to have a serious conversation.
 
My Catholic study Bible states right at the beginning of Genesis that the creation story is very similar to stories that came before it in the region. I don’t think the Church has an official stance on this though.
 
If we are to interpret the creation story as figurative or metaphoric, then are we to view the resurrection in the same way? Who determined that some parts or any parts of the Bible are not accurate (literal)?
 
I don’t know. Maybe I’ll get a chance to ask one day. I’m sure it has something to do with the difference between spiritual truth and literal truth.
 
You don’t think the engineers that built the temples of Solomon could comprehend creation?

Does that make any sense to you?

Looks Greco-Latin to me. 😜

In seriousness I think I’ve seen this before, but I can’t remember where. Hmm… What is it? It looks like something regarding the expansion of something.
