I ultimately converted after I married my wife.

There it is

Yeah my alarm bells are ringing from like the first three comments. I'm not saying none of this is true, but this person writes with the same characteristics of someone on r/conspiracy.

Totally in line with the churches teachings but not with the science. Using evolution as an example Catholics say "god drives and directs evolution", but the actual science has found no evidence for a driving force behind evolution and plenty of evidence to attest the opposite, that evolution is an undriven process based on the selection of random mutations by purely natural environmental pressures.

Just because you can make a scientific theory fit with your religion by ignoring the details or interpreting your religious text as "metaphorical" when you find contradictions, does not mean that there is no conflict between the two.

I don't believe in the literal interpretation of Genesis. But I think it is an excellent poetic/metaphorical treatment of what we would today call "the human condition," as described above.

And that ladies and gentlemen is how your religion will never contradict science. Whenever an apparent contradiction to reality is discovered, the religious texts transform into metaphor, ad infinitum until you are left with giant swathes of metaphor propping up the odd unfalsifiable passage here and there. It never fails
