how is Genesis symbolic
symbolic stories are those with hidden meaning
they are often told to get across points that may be difficult to explain or for people to understand fully
Catholics say that Genesis is symbolic and has a deeper meaning
what does the creation story shows Catholics about God
Catholics look at the meaning of the creation account
in Genesis 1 God is shown as omnipotent, omniscient omnibenevolent and transcendent
what does the creation story tells us about humans
that we were made in God’s image
we have a role of reproducing but subduing
stewardship
and God gave us life
what did God create in the sixth day
Catholics Believe that God did not create the earth in six days that had 24 hours
it is a message that God created the world and is responsible as the creator
a thousand years in a single day
psalms 90:4
this shows that a day for God is different from the way we measure time
can you believe in God and science
to read these passages as scientific is a mistake
Catholics do not believe that the creation story is another big bang
Catholics do not believe however the earth was created in six days since scientific evidence provides that the earth 🌍 is much more older than that
is Adam and Eve an alternative to Darwin evolution
no Adams and Eve are not alternatives to Darwins evolution theory
the authors of Genesis were inspired by God and not scientific reasoning on how the universe works
the Genesis authors ask why the universe is what is today
what is the big bang
took place 13.7 billion years ago
nothing exist prior then
pin sized then expanded
hawkings
with some quick maths from looking at other galaxies the universe is about 14 billion years old and it has a beginning
there is no such thing as a religious scientist, religion and science are incompatible
