Hey fellow, desperately wicked, image of God bearers!

FYI - I'm an OE/six day creationist, not a YEC.

Oh,like the Catholics? Well, that's merely absurd rather than batshit crazy.

No it's batshit insanity. At least the YECs claim that the trees and grass only had on 24 hour day to survive without the sunlight that was created a day later. The OE stupidity says they lived for "eons" without the sun.

And the correct choice would be annoying twat. Read some of it's previous posts and you'll understand.

Phil, there are different varieties of OE's. I am an OE, however I do not adhere to the view you describe.

That is where you are right now.

On a positive note, however, this forum seems to be more tolerant and patient toward theists than most other atheist forums that I came across.
That being said, welcome. I hope that you stay within the rules so that you don't get banned. Enjoy.

Thanks, and God bless, to you and your family

What is the Catholic version of OE?

What is the Catholic version of OE?

In a word, 'ambiguous'. At the Catholic school I attended,I was taught evolution as science,without equivocation.

I was taught the Book of Genesis is allegory,not literal truth.So yes,I was also taught,the earth may have been created in six days. However,for all we know,each day may have been billions of years in duration.(the Hindus have a similar notion of 'god time')

Catholics are also rather embarrassed about the Book of Revelations,and tend to ignore it. Many Catholics do not understand why Revelations is included in the Canon as it is obscure to the point of absurdity.(I've always thought persons known as 'John Of Patmos' were under the influence of some halucinogen)

Some faithful Catholics believe that God created the universe and all that is in it exactly word for word as it is laid out in Genesis - a young earth. Other good Catholics believe in an old earth. The Church has no defined Dogma regarding the specifics of how the earth and the human body were created. Nor does it think that we have to nail that down to be saved.
