Why is this alarming? Since these interpretations are accepted by the Catholic Church clearly the vast majority of the world's Christians believe this.
They believe it (assuming that's true)because,just like the vast majority of everybody else,they believe whatever they hear the most.
How many people would be able to logically lay out their world view (assuming they even know what that is)step by step enough to show that they had a reasonable grasp of what they believed and what the ramifications of that belief might be?
I'd wager the percentage would be miniscule,which therefore means that much is taken on trust.
"Faith cometh by hearing" doesn't just apply to christians.
Much of the church seems to not understand John 6:29
“Why is this alarming? Since these interpretations are accepted by the Catholic Church clearly the vast majority of the world’s Christians believe this.”
Where do you guys get your talking points? Blah, blah blah... broken records. And you all spout this nonsense as if you had an original thought in your under-evolutionized Brontosaurus-sized (to scale, of course) brains. If you’re science is as informed as your suppositions about Christian beliefs then it’s no wonder you swallow Darwin’s science fiction hook, line and stinker.
In short, your babblings are maddening.

The Catholic Church stands firm on the belief that Adam and Eve were created separate from all other living things. That they did not descend from anything. The Church also does not regard Noah's flood as being a myth.
