Question
QUESTION: for catholics the tragic effect of the sin of the first couple is called acoepandoraacbox.ac?true or false. 2nd question genesis and scientific creation stories are incompatible ? true false
ANSWER: I do not recognize the word in question 1. Possibly you could tell me where I might find the meaning.
Genesis and science are not necessarily incompatible. God, the first cause and the only creator, could have then used created matter to develop evolutionarily. However, the spiritual [rational] human soul was a direct creation since the spiritual does not evolve from the material.
If you would like more, John, please write again as I am not sure what you are seeking.
Best wishes.

QUESTION: what are the elements of the twofold promise made to Abram when God covenanted with him? 2ND QUESTION, DOES THE WORD RE-CREATION IN THE BOOK OF GENESIS MEAN GOD S ACTION TO REVERSE THE SPREAD OF SIN? TRUE OR FALSE
In my previous answer, I overlooked my typo. I'm sure you deciphered the final sentence: If you desire more, let me know. That still holds.
I am not sure to what places in Genesis you are referring concerning re-creation. If you would tell me that, I hope to provide an appropriate answer.
Thanks, John, for your patience.
