Most protestants I know would never be so rude or ugly to me in person, but I am sure that they often wonder albeit privately how it is I could believe such nonsense.Most people wonder how someone else believes "nonsense" of some kind or another. I'm sure you wonder how Protestants can accept the historicity of Genesis. I wonder why people like you batter at Genesis with the sword of "science" but then sheathe that sword when it comes to the "virgin birth" or "transubstantiation."

I don’t believe I have ever batted at Genesis or the story of creation. I do not claim to know anything other than God created the world and all that is in it, all that is seen and unseen. How He did so is His mystery to reveal as He wishes.
What I do know is that a God great enough to create everything from nothing can, if He chooses make Himself present in the Eucharist. Another mystery that it His to reveal if/when/how He chooses.

"I'm sure you wonder how Protestants can accept the historicity of Genesis" --> I gave you links in my posts above how the PCA has the same "we believe God was the creator, but the rest we won't give a definitive statement" as the CAtholic Church. AND, I showed you where an Southern Baptist published a book talking about "an earth billions of years old" --> this makes your statement incorrect.
If you meant to say "some Protestants can ..." I would say ok, it should be "some Protestants and Catholics DO accept the historicity of Genesis and their Churches don't give a definitive statement"
