>>They are not symbolic. The Hebrew indicates they were six 24 hour time periods as we understand them. If you can’t get the beginning right I can see where rcc has a hard time with the rest.<<

The RCC has no trouble with anything and as I stated, the Bible was written so people could understand the concept of what happened. In the beginning, God created Heaven and Earth....do you really suppose that for any moment in time Earth was the only physical thing in existence

Eternal Heaven and 1 solitary planet?????

In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth (Genesis 1:1).
