Catholicism Requires Young Earth Creationism & Geocentrism

Thanks for accepting! Before I begin, I'd like to emphasize that my opponent is a self-described Catholic, which means that any arguments of his that implicitly deny the truth of Catholicism would be disingenuous, and I hope that voters would frown upon such a tactic (if he even utilizes that strategy, which I trust he won't).On to my arguments: [I]t is absolutely wrong and forbidden, either to narrow inspiration to certain parts only of Holy Scripture, or to admit that the sacred writer has erred. - Pope Leo XII in his encyclical PROVIDENTISSIMUS DEUS(1) Catholics must consent to this prohibition, which effectively confirms that the Bible contains not a single error regarding any topic. I'd like Con to explicitly concede to this point, if he doesn't mind. [I]n six days the Lord made heaven and earth, and the sea, and all things that are in them - Exodus 20:11 If Con doesn't want to violate Pope Leo's aforementioned prohibition, he must now concede that this verse from the Bible is 100% true and divinely inspired, and God really did make the universe within 6 days. [I]t is not permissible for anyone to interpret Holy Scripture in a sense contrary to[...] the unanimous consent of the fathers. - Dogmatic constitution on the Catholic faith, Vatican Council I, summoned by Pope Pius IX(2) Con must now concede that he agrees with the Church Fathers' interpretation of the Bible on every single point where every Church Father was in agreement. In other words, if every Church Father believed Jesus was speaking literally whenever he said, "This is my body", then Catholics must agree that Jesus was speaking literally. The unanimous consent of the Church Fathers, regarding the interpretation of the Bible, was that the Creation of the world took place within a span of time no longer than a single, literal week. A Church Father is saint that lived before the 8th century, and has been approved by the Church as such. Here(3) is a list of some of them: Clement of Rome Ignatius Polycarp Justin Martyr Irenaeus Cyprian Athanasius Basil Cyril of Jerusalem Ambrose John Chrysostom Jerome Augustine Cyril of Alexandria Pope Leo the Great and Pope Gregory the Great It's a historical fact that every single of these, and also all not listed, agreed on the Immobile Earth interpretation of the Bible. Doctor of the Church, St. Robert Bellarmine, agrees with me: [T]he Council prohibits interpreting Scripture against the common consensus of the Holy Fathers; and if [you] read[...] the Holy Fathers[...], you will find all agreeing in the literal interpretation that the sun is in heaven and turns around the earth with great speed, and that the earth is very far from heaven and sits motionless[...] - Bellarmine to Paolo Antonio Foscarini, April 12, 1615 Con could easily debunk this crucial argument of mine by quoting a single of the Church Fathers rejecting the immobile Earth interpretation, but he will not, because such a quote does not exist. I will also assert that every Church Father subscribed to a Biblical Creation which took place over a span of time no longer than a period of one literal week, necessitating Young Earth Creationism. This is another premise Con will be unable to disprove. Since Catholics must adhere to the unanimous consensus of the Fathers when it comes to interpreting the Bible's passages regarding Young Earth Creationism and an immobile Earth, I have successfully proven the resolution.(1) http://w2.vatican.va...
