Someone should hand these folks a copy of Genesis.

Genesis, as well as much of the bible was written circa" 600bc.
Are you saying nomads knew more about the origins of our world than todays enlightened scientists?

Genesis is not meant to be taken literally. Its a folk tale.

They already have Genesis in hand. I would venture to suggest that for them, the question is not whether God created the universe and life; the question is how God created the universe and life.

“Further, he (the Pope) seems to be cautioning those who have been claiming Church endorsement of the full-bodied, design-defeating version of Darwin's theory of evolution, which, after all, is often little more than philosophical materialism applied to science,” added Chapman.

Chapman noted that in his very first homily as Pope, Benedict XVI had rebuked the idea that human beings are mere products of evolution, and that, like his predecessor, John Paul II, the new Pope has a long record of opposition to scientific materialism.

Personally I feel that both ID and Evo should be taught side by side, so students can decides for themselves - whether it be in a science class, philosophy class, or whatever.

"Someone should hand these folks a copy of Genesis."

Oh ... they have a copy of Genesis ... they just don't take it seriously. I don't know why they take miracles seriously. I don't know why they take the death of Christ and His resurrection seriously - why bother? Apparently they pick and chose what they want to believe. Forget the Hebrew that makes it PERFACTLY CLEAR that the Bible speaks of 7, 24 hour days.

The bottom line is my God, the One in the Bible did as He stated in the Bible. It's too bad their god is not my God. Catholicism is a system of beliefs unto itself. Even a atheist can understand that you don't allow a homosexual to be a priest not do you move them from parish to parish after they've molested kids ... . It's plain to see for all who wish to see what is going on in Catholicism and the leaders that run this mega church.

If you don't believe what is stated in Genesis, why bother to believe ANY of it? I guess it's what they call being a "cafeteria" Catholic. How sad this must make God ... to see foolish people not giving Him the credit due Him and conforming to the world and it's ever lowering faith in anything.
