My views [on the historicity of the Old Testament] are "heresy" for all I know.

I disagree with them, but they are not heretical according to the Catholic Church. The dogmatic belief is that God is the sole creator, and that Adam and Eve were physical progenitors of man who suffered the Fall, and, of course, that Christ is true God and true man who suffered, died and rose on the third day, left the Church behind, and will come again in glory, and judge us onto our resurrection in the body and everlasting life, as the Creed says. The other episodes of salvation history are allowed to be viewed as inperfect accounts of some events important for our formation for their spiritual messages.

And I give the Church the wisdom that I don't have.
