If you remove special creation (ie literal 6 day creation) then Christian (and Catholic) theology falls apart like a house of cards. If you believe in literal creation, your fundamentalism falls apart.
I have no intention of going around this tree again.

How so?

One of the things that many Roman Catholics offer to explain the veneration of Mary is that she was the second Eve. That is why she HAD to be sinless.
If there was no real "Eve" but a population of ape like creatures that were suddenly ensouled, then the story of Adam and Eve is an allegory. If that is so, how can Mary be the second Eve?
