What kind of history does Genesis offer? The fundamentalist kind of history that insists that every detail, every jot and tittle are literally true? Or the Catholic kind that sees Genesis as morally and figuratively true but not literally true in every respect?

For example, in describing Creation as taking six days, does Genesis literally mean six days? Or does it mean to convey the sense of God working in an orderly and logical progression, stating that in a way that could be understood long before modern science? Since Genesis is not meant as a science text, the latter explanation seems the most credible.

The days in Genesis are 24 hour days. They are referenced again as days in Exodus.
