Catholic chronology

Do Catholic geologists still take seriously (as literal chronology) Eccles 1:4 "the earth abideth forever" which Saint Thomas Aquinas cites _inter alia_ in his discussion of God and eternity in _Summa Theologica_? >Accordingly, however, as some receive immutability from Him, they share in His eternity. Thus some receive immutability from God in the way of never ceasing to exist; in that sense it is said of the earth, "it standeth for ever" (Eccles. 1:4). (*Summa Theologica*, First Part, Question 10, Article 3 ) That is, does Catholic doctrine dictate that Catholic geologists must believe that the Earth is eternal and has existed forever? (This doctrinal question arose among comments to a different question that was put on hold as off-topic.)
