G-d's assertion that something happened isn't good enough for Catholics.
You left the Church because you weren't well taught. Now, you think you can speak for all Catholics from your limited experience. It's nothing more than sowing seeds of discord.
A throw-away statement? G-d says something happened and then saying that this doesn't mean it did is a "throw-away statement?" You people have a strange way of thinking.

I left the Church because it doesn't consider G-d to be truthful. All its bibles are printed with blasphemous higher-critical commentary, and all its publications (Catholic Digest, US Catholic, Liguorian, OSV and its satellites, etc.) attack the immemorial tradition that Moses transcribed the Torah at G-d's dictation as well as the facticity of Daniel, Esther, Jonah, and other books. The Catholic Church is saturated not only with evolutionism but with liberal Protestant higher criticism (which it actually thinks will guard it from the heresy of sola scriptura by making the Bible full of mistakes and falsehoods). It has done more to promote higher criticism and "theistic" evolution than any other religious body on earth for almost a hundred years.
There is no room for anyone who has the slightest reverence for G-d in such a blasphemous, irreverent body. It smells of brimstone, as do any who reject the idea that G-d is neither ignorant, mistaken, or (chas vechalilah!) a liar. The Catholic Church is in the process of being destroyed because it turned against the Bible at least a century (maybe more) ago. You think the chaos in the Church about dogma is quite independent of the modernist skepticism towards the Bible, but you couldn't be more wrong. But never you mind. Just go right on pretending that it all didn't start with evolution (and maybe even Galileo) and keep dreaming of a restored Middle Ages but with evolution. Your days, and the days of all who insist G-d is fallible, are numbered.
It's nothing more than sowing seeds of discord.
