I'm at a loss as to why a religion would call classify a book as its "scripture" and then insist it contains errors.

The Catholic Church does not do that.

You are conflating non-literal interpretation with a declaration of errors.

Whatever the Catholic Church officially "does," most Catholics (yourself included) certainly do.

You are conflating non-literal interpretation with a declaration of errors.

So you are saying Genesis is absolutely free of any kind of error whatsoever--historical and scientific as well as "theological?"

You are accepting the twenty generations listed in Genesis 5 and Genesis 11 as literal history, including the lifespans?

BTW, regardless of what Dr. Schroeder may believe, six days and fifteen billion years are not the same thing. If the universe was formed supernaturally over six days, then it cannot have been formed naturally over fifteen billion years.

You Catholics sure do think evolution is important. Why don't you add it to the Creed? It would have kept people like me from making a terrible mistake.
