Evolution Contradicts The Central Dogma Of The Roman Catholic Church

by Thomas Ivan Dahlheimer


The Roman Catholic Church's central dogma (an unchangeable doctrine) is false. The dogma that I am referring to contradicts scientific evidence that teaches reasonable people that before modern-day humans ("Adam and Eve") came into existence on earth around 200,000 years ago there were billions of years of evolutionary history wherein corruption and death ruled the world. It was not, as the central Roman Catholic dogma states, an "incorruptible, death free, kind-of-paradise" throughout those billions of years, and that the creation then, unfortunately, fell into the "bondage of corruption" when "the first human being ('Adam') committed 'original sin.'" Therefore, the creation can not be "restored to the purity of its origin," and become the "ultimate destination of Christians who die in a state of grace," as this Roman Catholic dogma teaches.

St. Symeon wrote: "Neither Eve nor Paradise were yet created, but the whole world had been brought into being by God as one thing, as a kind of paradise, at once incorruptible yet material and perceptible."

St. John of Damascus wrote: "The creation of all things is due to God, but corruption came in afterwards due to our wickedness...For God did not make death, neither does He take delight in the destruction of living things" (Wisdom 1:13). But death is the work rather of man, that is, its origin is in Adam's transgression."

St. Ignatius Brianchaninov wrote: "Plants were not subjected either to decay or to diseases; both decay and diseases and the weeds themselves, appeared after the alteration of the earth following the fall of man."

St. Basil the Great wrote: "...it is customary for vultures to feed on corpses, but since there were not yet [before Adam's sin] corpses, nor yet [before Adam's sin] their stench, so there was not yet [before Adam's sin] such food for vultures. But all [animals] followed the diet of swans and all grazed the meadows...[none of] the beasts were carnivores...such was the first creation, and such will be the restoration after this."

Genesis 1:30 reads: "...and to every beast of the earth and to every bird of the sky and to every thing that moves on the earth which has life, I have given every green plant for food;" and it was so..." The Catechism of the Roman Catholic Church says: "Jesus came to restore creation to the purity of its origins" (CCC, n. 2336). A Bible scripture states that "the creation itself," will be "delivered from its bondage to corruption" (Romans 8:21). Isaiah 65:25 says: The wolf and the lamb shall graze together; the lion shall eat straw like the ox,..."

U.S. Catholic Bishops wrote: "The whole Bible is spanned by the narrative of the first creation (Gn 1:3) and the vision of a restored creation at the end of history" (RV. 21:1-4) The Catechism of the Catholic Church says: "Jesus came to restore creation to the purity of its origins." Modern-day science has proven these Catholic doctrines/teachings to be untrue and deceptive. Therefore, science has also made the Roman Catholic Religion an out-dated religion.

Evolution destroys the "loving God" that the whole of Christianity depends.
