As Mathew was saying, Most Catholics believe that
the bibles creation narrative, shows not what literally happened, but rather is meant to give a deeper understanding between the relationship of God and man.
Besides the obvious
creation narrative of «6 days» of
creation even when adjusted for the «thousand years is as a day» still leaves wildly inaccurate time frames, coupled with the Adam lineage down to Abraham all written thousands of years after the supposed events took place by Moses, set's a definate time frame for how old the earth and most
bible scholars proclaim this to be between 6,000 to 9,000 years old.
