We must believe that God created the earth and everything in it. We must believe that God created a man called Adam and a woman called Eve. We must believe that they were in union with God. We must believe that they sinned, i.e. in the fall of man and that original sin was the result. We are not bound to believe that the 7 days of creation has to be a literal seven days. Personally I believe that God could have done it all in seven days and made it look like it took billions of years but I am more inclined to believe that God didn't create the universe and the earth in a rush. That is my understanding. Edited January 13, 2005 by thessalonian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Benedict Posted January 13, 2005 Share Posted January 13, 2005 I believe that God arranged everything just so and then let it all fall into place over a few billion years, like a set of dominoes or a really great pool shot or Pee Wee Herman's house when he wakes up (from Pee Wee's Big Adventure). I find that much more impressive than 144 hours of creation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JazzforJesus Posted January 13, 2005 Share Posted January 13, 2005 does the church has anything specific to say about how it was done. God Created it all. and has a plann for it all Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest JeffCR07 Posted January 13, 2005 Share Posted January 13, 2005 I'm not sure if this answers your question, Jazz, but the Church teaches us in the Catechism that the world was created in a state of journeying, and that He intended for man to participate in the completion and perfection of Creation, and thus we are called to be "co-creators" with Him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest JeffCR07 Posted January 13, 2005 Share Posted January 13, 2005 with regards to [i]how[/i] he created, we must hold that God created the world and all things "out of nothing." Thus, there was no eternally-existing matter from which He formed the earth, but rather, nothing existed until it was formed by Him. - Your Brother In Christ, Jeff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
