Brother Adam Posted August 9, 2005 Share Posted August 9, 2005 yeah, I am slow, but I promised delivery by mid-August and we are almost to mid-August. Catholics For Creation is up and running and open on a permanent basis for those interested in evolution and creation. The whole design is in place and there are a few articles, but plenty more is on the way. I'm just super busy so I don't have a huge library or anything up yet. But sing up, invite anyone and everyone to join and get the party started. If you know someone who is an evolutionist and would like to write a short article on the basics of the theory of evolution (What is it?), but not a defense so people have a place to start, please let me know. I'd prefer someone who is an athiest or agnostic to write the article rather than a theistic evolutionist. The forum is of course open.

Guest Eremite Posted August 9, 2005 Share Posted August 9, 2005 The site looks good. While I have no competence (or interest) to address the scientific dimension of evolution, there are some theological points made on the site that just make me cringe. [quote] Is God really that impersonal? Theistic evolutionists want you to think so. They want you to believe that God said "Bang" and then left it to happen for billions of years on its own. Then at some point God came back and said "Wam!" and suddenly too animals had souls and became humans. Completely illogical with no theological basis. You can't take evolution and make it Christian. It does not work and it is foolish to try to rationalize it. [/quote] Not only CAN evolution be harmonized with the Church's faith, but the Roman Pontiffs have encouraged sound scientific and theological inquiry to harmonize the two domains. The exercise is hardly "foolish". Even Galileo was encouraged by Pope Urban to poke and prod into the issue of Geocentrism and its relation to the Christian faith, provided he proceeded cautiously and did not present as fact what was, at that time, only theory (the same approach taken, incidentally, by Pius XII when he addressed evolution in Humani Generis). Accepting that God did in fact take millions of years to create the world (I have no idea if he in fact did), this wouldn't at all imply an "impersonal" Creator. In fact, if it were true, I would be all the more amazed at the wonder of our God, who patiently let his glorious plan of creation unfold, much as he lets the life of a child unfold in the womb before it is born. There's a lot more I could address. Maybe in the future... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother Adam Posted August 9, 2005 Author Share Posted August 9, 2005 Feel free to join the forum and address your concerns there. As I am hoping the website will be a center for discussing this theology, I won't get into drawn out debates here. I'd like to bring a lot of minds from throughout cyberspace together there.
