And it was Good
Genesis is not a science textbook; it is something deeper. It tells us the meaning of creation, not the mechanics. It teaches that God created everything out of nothing (ex nihilo), that He created it out of love, and that it is inherently good.
The six days, the two distinct accounts in Genesis 1 and Genesis 2, and what creation ex nihilo commits you to are settled questions with a long literature behind them, and almost nobody who argues about Genesis has met that literature.

Genesis 1:27 and Psalm 8 are the two texts standing under every Catholic argument about human dignity, from the unborn child to the prisoner.

Catholics reject Gnosticism (which says the physical world is evil). Matter is good, so good that God Himself became flesh.
If matter is good and God took flesh, that changes how you treat a body, a meal, a field and a Sunday, and the change only happens once you have studied it. Catholic/Christian Pro gives you in-depth Bible studies on Genesis, John 1 and the Wisdom books, audio devotionals, guided prayers, worship playlists and full offline access. $49 one-time, lifetime access, no subscription and no recurring charges, 30-day money-back guarantee. This buys study material and audio, nothing else, and the Mass and the sacraments stay free at your parish. Start today.
