Certainly not mythology, but also not the literal explanation of what happened. Certainly God created the universe(s) and created man, and we are learning just how amazing the methods he used to do so are.

There you go with "creation" again. I asked about the first eleven chapters of Genesis.

If you wish to truly learn our stance on aspects of Genesis and not just pass judgment, there is plenty to read which clears up our position:

Ah yes, Catholicism's favorite four "saints:" St. J, St. E, St. P, and St. D! What would you have done without those liberal nineteenth century Lutherans who discovered them for you?

Having been Catholic for six years, I know all about your relegation of Genesis to "mythology" and your dedication to the blasphemous "documentary hypothesis."

Well it seems you haven’t taken the trouble to read the links I gave you, do come back once you have and tell me again where we relegate Genesis to mythology?

Moses used sources to compile the Torah? And this is "conservative?"

You’ve just disposed of Chapter 1, but what about Chapters 2-11? Are Cain and Abel mere “religious symbols?” Was Noach’s Flood adapted from Enuma Elish? Were all the people mentioned in those chapters mythological or fictional characters?

Cail and Abel are probably representatives of early humanity....were they called Cail and Abel by their parents...I don’t think so, not important anyway. If Adam, Eve ,Cain and Abel were the only people on earth, other than through incestuous relationships, where did everyone else come from. Why did God mark Cain so that others would not injure him....others?. The flood is probably based on fact, but that Noah put two of every animal on earth into it is probably figurative at best. There are no kangaroos near mount Ararat and Moose are also very rare there. One must understand that the bible is not, nor was it ever intended to be a totally factual historical document.
