Here's another quick question for you all:
Do Catholics believe in a literal 6 day creation?
God bless!

That reminds me of the joke:
A man is praying to God, and says, "Lord, is it true that time has no meaning for You? That a minute is like a day, a day like a thousand years?"
God says, "Yes, My son."
The man says, "Lord, is it true that money has no meaning to You?"
God says, "Yes, My son."
The man then says, "Lord, would you please give me a million dollars?"
God says, "In a minute."
Peace be with you,

Scripture tells us that a day to the Lord is a thousand years and a thousand years to the Lord is a day. If God said He made the earth in six days, then He made it in six days.
Gazing at a star-filled night sky reinforces just how small, how insignificant, how truly UNWORTHY we pitiful humans are. The very thought that God Himself humbled to human existence for our salvation is awe-inspiring indeed.

If you are interested in studying any of the physical sciences, or if astronomy is a hobby, it's hard to buy the literal 6-day interpretation.
BUT...many scientists and other people of learning have found their studies in no way conflict with a belief in God. All of my studies have been at the undergraduate level, so I can't speak with authority, but science has always provided incredible proof to me that God MUST exist. There is too much order, too much symmetry, too much beauty on earth and in the heavens beyond to dismiss it as merely "random." I can even seen the hand of Glory in the periodic table of elements, because of its complexity and organization.

On a side note, how do you reconcile Gen 1 with Gen 2-3 when interpreting them literally? The order of creation is reversed in the second one.
