Because, you're claiming that Catholics are required to believe in the literal interpretation of the story of Genesis. Which is a 100% completely false statement. Most Catholics believe the story in Genesis is allegory/symbolism for God being behind all of creation, and for human beings to have free will and have the ability/intelligence to choose between good and evil.
Ok, this is ridiculous The creation story is an allegory for God created everything??? So the authors wrote the creation story that's says god created everything this way, to really mean god did create everything but not this way?
