Father Stravinskas Gives The Catholic Answer
On page 9 of the Catholic Chronicles (Jan.-Feb. issue, 1988) a Roman
Catholic asks, "can a Catholic believe in evolution?" Father Peter
M.J. Stravinskas answers, and the ad for his column says, "Ouestions
to Father Peter Stravinskas can concern anything about the church and
church teachings." He is from the Lithuanian Catholic Center in
Brooklyn, New York. The "Father" answers:
"Catholic theology provides believers with a way to safeguard the
Biblical doctrine of creation and to accept the theory of evolution at
the same time....We are here dealing in Genesis 1 with Hebrew poetry
which is not intended to be taken literally....God began the
evolutionary process and then personally intervened when a creature
had reached that perfection which was fit to receive an immortal
soul...Of course, faith and science can never contradict each other,
because when engaged in properly, both seek to lead people to truth
and, ultimately, the Truth...."
Father Stravinskas is a liar. The creation of man has nothing to do
with the theory of evolution in Genesis 1 and 2 in the sense of
"believing" an evolutionary account. All evolutionists teach that
there was rain on this earth a good one million years before man ever
showed up. In the Bible, there was no rain coming down on this earth
till more than a thousand yesrs after man shows up.
This poor nut thinks that if you insert the theory that God allowed
things to go like Darwin said until some monkey got to the place where
it was "fit to receive an immortal soul," that God slipped it in. He
is a real monkey himself.
There is not an evolutionist on the face of this earth who believes
that the earth was created before the sun. In the account in Genesis
1, the earth is created before the sun is created. God wrote His Book
so you have to take a choice, and there is nothing figurative about
God making a lesser light to rule the night and making a greater light
to rule the day. The only way you can call them figurstive is if you
are a monkey man trying to justify your ancestry.
