Q

Why may Catholics say in response to Darwin ?

A
  1. From a limited human point of view, things may look random but we don’t have the same intelligence as god that allows us to understand his way of thinking.
  2. Soul isn’t a scientific study so science isn’t in a position to say anything about souls. Soul is a different dimension of reality - spiritual, another world, a share in the life of god, God’s breath in our body
