all intelligent people are faced with a choice: question what liberals taught us in school and be open to what Christ and logic dictate, or forever be a prisoner to what liberals teach.
:::This is a theological theory known as "continuous creation" and has been openly embraced by every Pope since ''Humani Generis'' (likely also by Francis), and it's heavily influenced by Leibniz. You can find a beautiful exposition of it on the web, by Fr. George Coyne, SJ, a Jesuit astronomer: [http://www.catholic.org/national/national_story.php?id=18503 here].

:::What the Church does not accept is polygeny, the belief that humans come from different strains. And guess what - we indeed all come from Africa and from a single common genetic ancestor (mitocondrial Eve). The Original Sin is a subject of debate: likely there were no snakes, apples and fig leaves involved, as [http://www.vatican.va/archive/ccc_css/archive/catechism/p1s2c1p7.htm CCC 390] affirms that Genesis is written in a "figurative language." Even St. Augustin said that "nihil ad intelligendum secretius" than the Original Sin (nothing is more obscure than the nature of it) and, boy, he was smart. It can be about the knowledge (intended as the capability of distinguishing) of good and evil. --[[User:Swordsman|Swordsman]] 16:57, 15 June 2013 (EDT)

'''RESPONSE TO THE ABOVE''': from the [[Humani Generis]], "For the faithful cannot embrace that opinion which maintains that ... Adam represents a certain number of first parents." Yet that is precisely what the modern theory of evolution pretends. Also, [[Jesus]] acknowledged and referred to the [[Great Flood]], which evolution denies.
At some point, all intelligent people are faced with a choice: question what [[liberals]] taught us in school and be open to what Christ and logic dictate, or forever be a prisoner to what liberals teach. I urge you to choose the former.--[[User:Aschlafly|Andy Schlafly]] 17:12, 15 June 2013 (EDT)
