Where Does Life Come From? Evolution and God's Creation

Lesson Forty-Three of Aquinas 101, with Fr Dominic Legge, OP, JD, STL, STD, Assistant Professor of Systematic Theology and Director of the Thomistic Institute.


Where does life come from? Is it caused by God? Or does it result from a vast and complex interaction of causes within the world? Could the answer be: both? In this episode of Aquinas 101: Science and Faith, join Fr. Dominic Legge, O.P., a Dominican friar from the Province of St. Joseph, as he examines evolution and the emergence of life in light of the Biblical accounts of creation and Thomistic philosophical principles about creation and divine governance. The topic of evolution, especially as it relates to the human person, is complex and can be difficult to navigate.

Comments are subject to deletion if they are not germane. I have no problem with a bit of colourful language, but blasphemy or depraved profanity will not be allowed. Attacks on the Catholic Faith will not be tolerated. Comments will be deleted that are republican (Yanks! Note the lower case 'r'!), attacks on the legitimacy of Pope Francis as the Vicar of Christ (I know he's a material heretic and a Protector of Perverts, and I definitely want him gone yesterday! However, he is Pope, and I pray for him every day.), the legitimacy of the House of Windsor or of the claims of the Elder Line of the House of France, or attacks on the legitimacy of any of the currently ruling Houses of Europe.
