I believe in an old earth, and in God, so what why can't that be? The 7 days of God's creation of earth are figures of speech, if your an all powerful deity you wouldn't need 7 days. I believe that God created but also in evolution. Many theogical researchers now believe the Garden of Eden was also symbolic, alot of things in Catholicsm is symbolic. You can't take the Bible literally in all verses and even if it is truely the words of God written down by people sent by him, then other the many years and translations don't you think it will be a little messed up and sectional dialects while translating could have made a difference. Point is Bible says be good, don't go around killing, stealing, cursing, raping, stealing wives, respect, and treat people who you would like to be treated, even if we're not all Christian can't we just see the good and follow that to a more united world were we don't attack each other according to appearance or belief?
