I'm confused. You mean DIDN'T happen literally, right?Do you believe Genesis is to be understood literally. IOW, did all of those events literally happen?How do Catholics think land animals got here?I grew up Roman Catholic. Did you mean changing water into wine is evidence of evolution
You never read Genesis?
Genesis is an allegory, it's a coded message. Of course the events happened literally
If it's an allegory then it didn't really happen: a story, poem, or picture that can be interpreted to reveal a hidden meaning, typically a moral or political one. So these are stories with messages behind them.
Those ancient men couldn't have imagined evolution. They couldn't understand where we came from and how we got here. Best they could come up with was the Genesis story. Only one problem with it. In order to believe it you have to believe God poofed adult animals into existence. That's not science that ignorant fairy tales.
Imagine fully grown adults believing that a god poofed the deer, giraffe, dinosaurs, coo coo birds, wooly mammouth, birds, frogs, snakes, monkey, beatles, ants, mosquitos, trilobites, duck billed platipus. He poofed all of them into existence one day. They weren't raised by parents. They just arrived suddenly as full grown zebra, turtles, cats, moose, bear, tigers, seals. Magically.
Full grown adults need to study Kabbalah to understand the story behind the Genesis story.
