The interpretation of the bible is the responsibility of the religious leaders.
For example, here is the Vatican's position on Creationism:

"Perhaps God should be seen more as a parent or as one who speaks encouraging and sustaining words," he said.
This view is compatible with the Bible, which gives God human characteristics and presents divinity as "a God who gets angry, who disciplines, a God who nurtures the universe, who empties himself in Christ the incarnate word," he added.
The universe contains trillions of stars and they "release to the universe the chemical abundance of the elements necessary for life," he said.
"There is no other way, for instance, to have the abundance of carbon necessary to make a toenail than through the thermonuclear processes in stars. We are all literally born of stardust," he said.
Evolution is a continuous process and "has a certain intrinsic natural directionality in that the more complex an organism becomes the more determined is its future," he said.
"It is precisely the fertility of the universe and the interaction of chance and necessity in the universe which are responsible for the directionality," said Father Coyne.
