Funny that as I write these things to you, I am listening to Father Corapi speak about Sacred Scripture. He has just remarked about the Old Testament and in those remarks he has said that some will say that the Old Testament is not true or is no longer important in light of Jesus and the New Testament.

Baloney, he says. The same Jesus that created the universe out of nothing could make fish out of fish. LOL

That is Catholic belief. No hypocrisy there.

Would that were true. Unfortunately, while Fr. Corapi may believe in creatio ex nihilo as an abstract concept, he doesn't believe in the facticity of the events of the first eleven chapters of Genesis--and that is what this argument is about.

Does your reading of Genesis mean that you hold to a young earth or do you allow a sliding time scale similar to what Gerald Schroeder proposes?

That is what your argument is about. The original post is about why anti-Catholics like to, for example, read minds falsely, be needlessly confrontative, fail to understand when their own arguments are being addressed, and are often really unpleasant in conversation.
