Did you read all of the evidence I posted which is Divine revelation in the Bible and magesterium, not to mention the excellent statements from Chesterton. Evolution is a hoax. I used to believe it and apparently you still do. Evolution is not the teaching of the Church. The Church said that scientists could discuss it provided that they did not leave out the fact that our first parents got there soul directly from God. Most evolutionists including Karl Rahner taught polygenism which is the belief that man started not as single parents but as a group of individuals who where human and descended from a common ancestor or missing link to apes. The Church condemned polygenism and macro Evolution in general very early on and the science for evolutionary theory was every bit as strange as it is today. The Church has no problem with micro evolution as things always change with species. It is a no brainer that the law of entropy demonstrates that things close in on themselves and species would have a tendency to weaken but evolution claims biological progress that the structure gets better and better evolving into higher life forms. Did you ever see a chicken turn into a cow. Science never can proove evolution -it’s a myth.
"For the Greek philosophers, inquiring into the beginning of the world, have gone, some in one way and some in another. In short, Pythagoras says that numbers are the elements of its beginnings; Callistratus, that qualities; Alcmaeon, that contrarieties; Anaximander, that immensity; Anaxagoras, that equalities of parts; Epicurus, that atoms; Diodorus, things in which there are no parts...Democritus, that ideas; Thales, that water; Heraclitus, that fire; Diogenes, that air; Parmenides, that earth; Zeno, Empedocles, Plato, that fire, water, air and earth. Aristotle also introduced a fifth element...by joining the four elements into one..." (Clement of Rome, Pseudo-Clementine, Ch. XV, Theories of Creation).
All of the Fathers were bombarded by the latest theories of the day, theories which purported to go way beyond the simplistic view of ex nihilo creation presented in Genesis. Hippolytus of Rome, an early Father who lived in the second century (d. 235), writes:
"But Leucippus, an associate of Zeno...affirms things to be infinite, and always in motion, and that generation and change exist continuously....And he asserts that worlds are produced when many bodies are congregated and flow together from the surrounding space to a common point, so that by mutual contact they made substances of the same figure and similar in form come into connection; and when thus intertwined, there are transmutations into other bodies, and that created things wax and wane through necessity..." (The Refutation of All Heresies, Ch. X: Leucippus and His Atomic Theory).
Hippolytus also critiques Thales, Founder of Greek Astronomy; Pythagoras on his Cosmogony and the Transmigration of Souls; Empedocles on Causality; Heraclitus on his Theory of Flux; Anaximenes on the idea of "Infinite Air"; Anaxagoras on his Theory of Mind and Efficient Cause; Parmenides on his Theory of Unity, and other Greek philosophic and scientific ideas.
"Scientists who go about teaching evolution as a fact of life are great con men, and the story they are telling may be the greatest hoax ever. In explaining evolution, we do not have one iota of fact." Dr. T. N. Tahmisian, US Atomic Energy Commission
"Evolution is a fairy tale for grownups. The theory has helped nothing in the progress of science. It is useless" Professor Louis Bounoure, Director: Strasbourg Zoological Museum
"I myself am convinced that the theory of evolution, especially the extent to which it has been applied, will be one of the great jokes in the history books of the future. Posterity will marvel that so flimsy and dubious an hypothesis could be accepted with the incredible credulity that it has." Malcolm Muggeridge, Pascal Lectures, University of Waterloo, Ontario.
