“The catechism does note that the creation account in Genesis is to be viewed symbolically.....not a literal six day creation.”

No, the CCC says that Genesis is filled with poetic/symbolic language. That in itself in no way is an exclusive juxtaposition to the idea of a literal six days of creation.

Also, you didn’t answer my question and gave an answer to a question no one asked. I asked the following: “Show me this “hate”. Can you?”

You did not show me any “hatred” for Genesis in Catholic teaching.

“If you can’t/don’t believe in a literal six-day creation, then how could you believe Jesus rose on the third day?”

If you can believe in Jesus rising from the dead, why can you not believe He gave His flesh for men to eat? Logically you can really only answer in a couple of ways - and those ways will always boil down to how you choose to interpret scripture.

Does God have feathers?

If they can be persuaded to turn their attention to the Bible for still another moment, I wonder how people in this thread interpret Ephesians 3:10 and its context, maybe verses 8-12 or whatever the complete sentence is. Although I myself am not a church (perish the thought), I can imagine myself wondering what God might be showing the principalities and powers through me. If I can't be a good example, at least I can be a horrible warning.

If you kept this verse in context you would understand the meaning of what He was saying in John 6.
