A synthesis of all truths is necessary to counter and obliterate the synthesis of all heresies and errors that is evolutionary modernism - as described and condemned by Pope St Pius X in Pascendi and Lamentabili.
The biblical commission in the time of Pope St Pius X - ruled that the Hebrew word for day (yom) - may be taken, in Genesis One, to signify either,
A literal - 24 hour day --- or a certain period of time.
Scholars have proven that whenever scripture uses the word yom (day) - with numeral or other specification of time, it means a literal twenty-four hour day. In Genesis One, the word day is specified as One, as the second, third, fourth, fifth, sixth and seventh. It is also specified - by an evening and a morning. There can be no doubt, then, that the days of Genesis One are literal - 24 hr days - re-inforced in Exodus 20, as the first week of the world and the fixed pattern of time for all time to follow. The option given by the Biblical Commission is not a representative of the Church's mission to teach the truth - because both of these options cannot be true - only one can be true. It must be the one indicated most clearly by the words of Holy Scripture. And, indeed, all the physical sciences, with metaphysics and theology - all indicate the necessity for this literal acceptance of the Six Days of Genesis One.
It is necessary, as St. Thomas demonstrates, the order of the Universe requires unity and the unity of the universe = one world = requires the timeless production by God's transcendent Creative Act - so that form precedes function, as it must, and act precedes process.
