The more we learn about the universe (or this universe) the more impressive is God's work, the fact that we are here IS a miracle how so many things had to fall in place just right for life to even be possible.

And of course as sfassi wrote, we Catholics witness a miracle at each and every mass, to be in the prescence of the living God Jesus.

Then why do you Catholics consider the first eleven chapters of Genesis to be mythology?

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.

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:

Adam

The flood
http://www.newadvent.org/cathen/04702a.htm

Creation
http://www.newadvent.org/cathen/04470a.htm
