So was Earth merely a gas floating around willy-nilly? or, if it was only water, and we know water takes the form of whatever it is placed in, was it water merely floating in space? what about the inner core, outer core, mantle - was this merely water as well? To me, Genesis is merely man's attempt at making sense of a world he did not understand at the time (as compared to our understanding of it in the modern age) |

Can't be, because firmament was not created until Genesis 1:6 |

Of course. That is what any rational personal would think. The bible also says the earth is flat and supported on pillars. I think anyone who takes the creation story literally should be consistent and join the Flat Earth Society. Knowledge is Good -- Emil Faber |

I am not sure what Catholic teaching is about inerrancy. Personally, I think arguing that every statement is inerrant is counterproductive, like did Methuselah really live until the age of 969. “Since therefore all that the inspired authors or sacred writers affirm should be regarded as affirmed by the Holy Spirit, we must acknowledge that the books of Scripture firmly, faithfully, and without error teach that truth which God, for the sake of our salvation, wished to see confided to the Sacred Scriptures” (CCC 107, quoting the Vatican II document Dei Verbum 11). But when a synod of bishops devoted to “The Word of God in the Life and Mission of the Church” met under Pope Benedict XVI’s direction in 2008, its working paper included the statement, “[T]he following can be said with certainty . . . with regards to what might be inspired in the many parts of Sacred Scripture, inerrancy applies only to ‘that truth which God wanted put into sacred writings for the sake of salvation’ (DV 11).” |

Just another 'blame it on god' cop out. When in doubt make it some gods fault. How can you go wrong when there is no god that can defend himself. If you take a risk, you may lose. If you never take a risk, you will always lose. |
