Yes indeed, you see it's a little thing called actually having faith.
Genesis, like the rest of the bible, is considered to be divnely inspired.
But the Catholic Church considers the creation stories to be allegories and in no way literal.
Since EVERY biblical account was written in hindsight, they were written to show God's presence in salvation history and the reflection of the Jewish community that God intervened with His people, through natural events, in the Old Testament.
They are not scientific nor historical documents.
I am gratified that there are those who still hold faith in high regard. I too believe that the Lord God Almighty created the Heavens and the Earth. I also believe that the theory of evolution is an acceptable explanation of how God's handiwork functions and adapts to non-optimal conditions.
Further, it is my belief that Intelligent Design is not science in any respect. The very nature of science omits pat answers and ideological cul-de-sacs.
In the final analysis, Intelligent Design is little more than an attempt to "prove" what God demands must be accepted on faith alone. I care not to think of the Lord's response come the final reckoning when these souls stand before him and say, "I believed in you, Lord, because I couldn't think of anything better."
The bible was originally called " Hebrew Scriptures, and were never " divinely inspired'. It was simply their story about the journey of the Hebrews, their belief system and their rituals.
It was Christians who took the book, changed its name to " Old Testament".
If I believe I can walk on water on faith, can I ?
But it's not supposed to be a biology textbook.
Only by some of those that accept what they are told to accept.
