The catholic church - and other religious groups - dancing around what they could no longer deny dealt one of the first blows to my faith. If this was god's word or law last week and the church issues a statement modifying it, clearly people had a hand, at least in shaping religion.
but again what I have done is not change one iota of what is read in the bible. it read as it always has. I just point out how a none catholic look (they have been reading the bible wrong as the put the book chapter and verse denotation in the bible like 600 years ago and got it wrong causing everyone after to read it wrong.
Again I simply rope off creation into the works of the father and the seven days it took to do the overall chapter 1 broad creation and chapter two Jesus' creation of the garden and everything in it. then point out jesus' completed the whole chapter two by day 4 so chapter three was not day 8= 6000 year old earth. I point out that there is no time line between 4th day completion of chapter 2 and the fall of man chapter 3 which did happen 6000 years ago which means the 3.5 billion years science is looking for could very neatly fit between chapter 2 and chapter 3 which should not be 2 and 3 but is.. That my friend is the only thing that has been changed about the bible which cause a terrible mess of understanding of how creation works in relation to evolution. the addition of book chapter and verse.
If you read the first three chapters of genesis the natural break is to rope off God the father's creation on day 7. on this time line man was created day 6 (man had no soul) however Jesus created adam day 4 with a soul and put him in the garden which was a separate thing than the rest of the world.

That is where all of you fail.
God is not religion God is bigger than any one single religious movement. You all look to put God in these tiny little religious boxes of small faith all the while missing out on the bigger simpler truth...
