On Sunday Night Live, Fr. Groeschel mentioned the big bang as though it for sure happened. Maybe it did–as he would say about other things “I don’t know. I wasn’t there”. The Church doesn’t know either. A cardinal in Rome said we should “listen to reason”. Why do we cower to the secular scientific community? they can’t even decide if red meat is good or bad for us. If they almost got away with Piltdown Man, what else are they not telling us? Oh yeah, Newsweek ran a story in 1980 that said the scientific community was embarassed but admnitted Darwin’s "gradualism (macroevolution–apes to men, for example) had never had scientific evidence–they probably waited till it had a foothoold and noone would care. The secular scientific community withheld the knowledge that abortion can lead to breast cancer. They are currently doing unethical research that makes injecting chimps with stuff look like the chicken that can answer questions or play tiuc tac toe in comparison. We need to reconcile with them?
"Our Church owned, well, managed, the sciences, arts, etc. because God inspired them–as long as they were good arts and sciences. Our Church has a right to a say about these things. We should exercise it. We should not say, “Well, the Earth may have been created in 7 days the way things happened in the Bible but it’s doubtful, blah, blah, blah, yadda, yadda, yadda, as if we are ashamed by the Bible”. Why not?! Some of these theologians question a set 7 sacraments and call a bunch of oither things sacraments. He had 12 apostles; why not a 7 day creation and 7 sacraments? As I said before, what have we to be ashamed of as compared to the outrageous stuff that comes from the scientific community? Whatever happened to God being omnipotent and His ways not being our ways and He doing things in mysterious ways?
We should subject ourselves to the scientific method–something the scientific community could try doing–when it is not contradictory to the Magesterium (such as deciding whether there was an Adam and Eve). If anyone complains about the Kansas school board, bring up the comparative treatment of Galileo or Scopes–at least in the warped way they learned it and bring up how Darwin and his eugenics conceiving cousin were working on the ideas that Hitler borrowed.
What does macroevolution do for us anyway? Animals are as they are, let’s study the ones that are and why little changes happen within them.
By the way, you must by the DVD/video of “Triumph of Design: And the Demise of Darwin” by Jack Cashill at cashill.com
