I think intelligent design is how it went down here on Earth-not something random, but not a literal interpretation of Genesis, either. We sent our cub to private-Catholic-school because we wanted her to love God and actually learn to read, write, and reason...
Well, if you don’t take it as exactly what the Word of God says, then you’re dismissing several things that Jesus himself confirms, namely about Adam and Eve (as he relates their creation to the basis for marriage) and also about the judgement that God rendered (the worldwide flood), in that the conditions of mankind will be like the time of the Flood when he comes in judgement again.
Another way to put it, is that Jesus knew it was true, as the Bible says, and spoke that way in His time.
Jesus knew that not even “one jot or tittle” is in error in the Word of God. Whatever it says is exactly as it says.
