It is a shame you only gave it six years and didn't pursue your questions or concerns to a greater depth. You would have found the deficiencies you perceived were within you and not the Church. Creation and all that is in it, including the laws of nature, as you call them, were created "ab initio temporis", which is a more complete explanation than "ex nihilo". I would encourage you to explore this further.

Ah, so you don't believe in creatio ex nihilo at all. Thanks for clearing that up.

I notice that after allowing the universe to form naturally (without any "interference," as you so quaintly put it), that your "gxd" apparently has felt the need to "interfere" over and over again once things were actually up and running: the "virgin birth," the "resurrection" of your "messiah," the Fatima "sun dance." G-d may have just stood back and watched the universe unfold without any activity on His part, but he's sure been busy lately, hasn't he? And that's not even counting that little magic trick the priests perform every single day.

The fact that young earth creationism has been all but extirpated from the Catholic Church while abortionism and homosexualism are alive and well illustrates just what the Catholic Church is really opposed to.

Why don't you do a little study about what "ab initio temporis" actually means before you make another feeble attempt at guessing what I believe or what the Church teaches.

I’m recalling how Father Alberto Cutié was publicly defrocked so quickly just for kissing a woman, in contrast to how the church usually deals with homosexual misconduct.
