Ergo, traditional Catholic belief has been falsified.
oh noes!! what will we do... oh, you said catholic belief.. yeah that's kinda been falsified when they put a pope over the church and told us he alone speaks for God. that whole precept is in trouble because it is the exact opposite of what Christ himself taught. Christ said we would need no teacher that no man would come between us each individual believer and God himself. The pope is such a man the bishops are such men the priests you must confess to are such men, the whole system is very unbiblical. There is nothing new in your statement as Catholicism has never aligned itself with scripture fully.
Protestants, at least for centuries, believed the exact same thing, namely, that there was a literal Adam & Eve. When I was growing-up in a fundamentalist, evangelical Christian church, I was taught Bishop Ussher's date of 4004 BC for the creation of the World and Universe, and few today hold to that one.
