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.
In a sense it is a "mystery" to everyone. However, in another sense He did provide us with a historical account and chronology in Genesis. That you do not believe this is, of course, the typical Catholic position. However, it makes you a hypocrite for believing in other miracles while denying these.

While I don't believe in your "transubstantiation" I don't attack it. I attack one thing and one thing only: your church's war on the first eleven chapters of Genesis. It is the height of hypocrisy and social snobbery to reject the facticity of Genesis while accepting other "miracles" just as impossible.
Catholics on FR (and elsewhere) regularly wage open warfare on Genesis as if it were an evil, subversive book that is threatening to derail the entire Catholic religion. I guess they know something I don't.
I was Catholic for six years. And one of the things that drew me toward it was the "real presence." I also believed G-d could do anything. But I could not remain in good conscience in a religion that hypocritically taught the "real presence" while attacking the veracity of Genesis.
