I dispute that the narrative says one thing or another about evolution. It says nothing more about it than the whole Bible says anything about physics. The Creation stories end with the creation and the failure of man to fulfill his role as the gardener of Eden. What I find most interesting is how radically different it is from the Creation stories of the societies around. It is an anti-myth and it leaves no room for the gods: there is Creation and the son of God, Adam. The only other actor is the serpent, which is to say the spirit of evil. who leads Adam and Eve astray by positing the idea of the gods. It is something that recurs throughout the Biblical narrative: the illusion of power. The gods of Mesopotamia/Egypt, and their kings and priests, who stand over the people as their masters. We see it today.

No, the Bible doesn't say much about physics but it certainly says a great deal about history--and that's what the "creation stories" are.

Every time one of you Catholics gives me the idea that you're not as bad as the rest of them I wind up getting bit. Bravo.
