Catholic Response To Science Flashcards
Why do catholic’s look to Genesis?
Catholic’s look to Genesis creation stories to show them all about what God is like and what our human relationship with God is. Because of this, catholics are able to accept both messages in the creation stories. ‘Genesis()…is the same order as described in the theory of evolution’ Pope Francis said ‘The Big Bang…does not contradict the divine act of creating’
The causation effect
Christians could say that God causes the Big Bang and evolution; this is the causation argument.
What is deisn?
A quote to support deisn is; “He created human beings and let them develop according to the internal laws that He gave to each one so they would reach fufilment“ this suggests God created us and doesn’t intervene because he knows what’s going to happen (omniscient). God created us and left us to choose our own paths. This suggests he gave us freedom.
