Here is a compilation of various resources for Catholics and other Christians to begin digging into the perennial beliefs regarding the historicity of the creation story laid out in the First Book of Moses. A lot of this was originally sourced by Gideon Lazar but I have tweaked some things and added imbedded links to all of the works cited. This is not a finished product and will continue to be a work in progress. I hope that people find this interesting and helpful.

Pontifical Biblical Commission
The commission was granted explicit papal approval as authoritatively binding by Pope Saint Pius X in 1907 (Praestantia Scripturae) until that authority was rescinded by Pope Saint Paul VI in 1971 (Sedula Cura). The rescinding does not retroactively make the previous issued decrees non-binding but merely removes that prerogative from further decrees by the commission. Much of the decrees are only available in Latin and Italian but the first 50 years are in English here.

itās funny to see a post go viral on this website specifically regarding not using AI because one āwants to think with their own brainā considering how little of that actually occurs here
Yes I agree and I know for a fact that AI is used in a manner which atrophies a personās ability to think critically. Just comical coming from the piss on the poor website etc

The whole "mitochondria is the powerhouse of the cell" level of obsession with "correlation does not imply causation" has done incalculable harm to our collective ability to evaluate evidence.
We kinda went from "hey guys make sure you think more than surface deep when presented with numerical evidence" to "no two numbers ever have anything to do with each other ever"
Is a Christian allowed to be discerning when it comes to charity? For example, I only support charities that do work in my country and are staffed by volunteers and I'm suspicious of the big ones with the ceos. But there are people I know who act like the charity label grants anything a free pass and doing basic research is mean somehow. I've tried to say, some of things they're funding are anti-Christian, and I got some nonsense answer that, well they're feeding African babies so that's Christian work so they're Christian without knowing it so it doesn't matter if they hate Christianity as it's "deeds not words".
It would be a sin against prudence not to be discerning regarding donating to charities. People conflate the act we would colloquially refer to as charity with charity proper. The former is actually called almsgiving and the latter is love. I think that hangup is where a lot of that sort of sentiment comes from. Anyways, yea, theyāre incorrect and giving to charities that are doing evil stuff is actually sinful. Or at least it can be. There is a whole can of worms involved with that that I wouldnāt like to get into. Generally, just give to charities that you believe are doing good things based on your research. Or you can give extra to your parish or a Catholic mission or something.

the phrase āMary is the Mother of Godā is not āinfallible,ā it is true; the Church teaches, infallibly, that Mary is the Mother of God in the solemn definition at the Council of Ephesus
