Arianism

Thank you for paragraph 5 in *Humani Generis. *The mind of Pius XII is over and above brilliant. Continuing with his Encyclical, there is the timely issue in
paragraphs 11-12. And of course there are the popular paragraphs 35-37.

In respect of this ban Sticky: Temporary Ban on Evolution Threads

I need to point out that in this century, the Catholic Church does not declare doctrines regarding the workings of the material/physical world created by God in Genesis 1:1-25. It is the dramatic shift from Genesis 1: 25 to Genesis 1:26 which signals the domain of the Catholic Church. Unfortunately, there are those modern people, including some, certainly not all, clergy who have set aside the deeper truths (aka doctrines) in order to comport or harmonized Catholicism with this century’s modern scientific world.

What some, certainly not all, people in this century have failed to comprehend is that modern science itself has separated knowledge about the human species from knowledge about bears, bananas, birds, bacteria, and those busy beavers which have never figured out how to build a Hoover Dam.

Whenever someone says — nothing in science is incompatible with Catholic teachings, perhaps one can gently ask this person to take a look in the mirror.

In a published statement entitled Jesus Christ The Bearer of the Water of Life (the title of which is a a reference to the age of Aquarius by some being interpreted as an age beyond Christianity which was the age of Pisces the fish, but for which the age of Aquarius will be equally Christian because Jesus Christ is the Water of Life)

A clever title, a very clever title

A powerful trend in modern Western culture which has given space to New Age ideas is the general acceptance of Darwinist evolutionary theory; this, alongside a focus on hidden spiritual powers or forces in nature, has been the backbone of much of what is now recognised as New Age theory.

As a Catholic I believe there are “hidden spiritual powers”, what separates me from the New Age is the “acceptance of Darwinist evolutionary theory”.

I believe God is first and foremost “Creator” as the creed puts. And Jesus Christ was there creating marvels and wonders.
