Creation or Evolution? A Catholic Dilemma

By Michael Chaberek and Steve Greene

Creation or Evolution? A Catholic Dilemma

To reconcile faith and science, is it enough to say "God could have used evolution"? Many Christians adopt this theistic-evolution point of view. It is now treated as the quasi-official Catholic position. Yet can it really harmonize Scripture, theology, and modern science? How does it align with the Bible read through the Church's long tradition and in light of classical Christian philosophy? Does it resolve the tension between Genesis and the Church Fathers on one side and the grand evolutionary narrative embraced by atheists on the other? And what role should intelligent design play in Catholic teaching? Creation or Evolution? A Catholic Dilemma presents a searching dialogue between two Catholics-a layman with long pastoral experience and a Dominican priest-scholar specializing in the faith-and-science debate-who probe whether theistic evolution remains a viable option for believers or whether creation, rightly understood, offers the sounder foundation for understanding life, humanity, and the cosmos.
