The Catholic Church does not take the stories of creation in the Bible literally. Catholics believe the book of Genesis tells religious truth and not necessarily historical fact.

One of the religious truths is that God created everything and declared all was good.

Catholics can believe in the theory of evolution. Or not. The Church does not require belief in evolution.

On August 12, 1950 Pope Pius XII said in his encyclical Humani generis:

The Teaching Authority of the Church does not forbid that, in conformity with the present state of human sciences and sacred theology, research and discussions, on the part of men experienced in both fields, take place with regard to the doctrine of evolution, in as far as it inquires into the origin of the human body as coming from pre-existent and living matter - for the Catholic faith obliges us to hold that souls are immediately created by God.

Here is the complete encyclical: http://www.vatican.va/holy_father/pius_xii/encyclicals/documents/hf_p-xii_enc_12081950_humani-generis_en.html

The Church supports science in the discovery of God's creation. At this time, the theory of evolution is the most logical scientific explanation. However tomorrow someone may come up with a better idea.

As long as we believe that God started the whole thing, both the Bible and modern science can live in harmony.

With love in Christ.

Adam and Eve were created long after the dinosaus became extinct. The original Hebrew scripture actually describes what we would now call "terraforming". The words "In the begining" are more properly translated as "first" hence: first God created the heavens (universe) and the Earth. The first chapter of Genesis goes on to explain that the world had been practically destroyed and describes the terraforming process. The dinosaurs were killed in a catrastophy that isn't discussed in detail in the Bible.

the tale you heard approximately Lilith isn't in the Bible. Eve became the 1st lady. As for something of your question, women human beings, like adult men, have loose will. If a girl is fortunate sufficient to have a husband who can help the family contributors, she will tend to the abode and young ones. she will have a profession or a area time activity. loose will is fantastically cool. As for adult men, I easily have got here across that maximum adult men at the instant are not many times an identical, yet could be fairly complicated. i've got heard that some adult men prefer to be abode with the youngsters, and that they are thoroughly satisfied letting their better halves do the salary earning.

They probably were created before Adam & Eve. What is your current point?
