As I have tired many often referring to the great conundrum of the church.  We do have a church which accedes to science and slides over to it in a sense.  It has gotten away from a literal interpretation of the Bible, yet says the message is inerrant.  Pius XII says that Adam and Eve can be figurative  but the even is primeval, meaning that there has to be a first couple...science says otherwise.  Despite the church's attempts to come to grips with what is now known, it does not know what to do with its major tenets e.g. Original Sin.  How does it justify what never was.  Does allegory work for it.  The church has the obstacle of stating first century beliefs are truths, then the world was viewed as static, and its doctrines fixed and unchangeable...that is its dilemma.
