Darwin and Catholicism BY Caruana - Original PDF
نویسندگان: Louis Caruana
خلاصه: Charles Darwin (1809–82) explained the history and variety of life on earth in terms of evolution. He formulated his ideas for the first time in his book On the Origin of Species, published in 1859. His theory brought together under one explanation the innumerable different phe- nomena observable in the organic world, and suggested moreover that the difference between humans and non-human animals was a difference in degree rather than one of kind.1 Because of this, philosophical and theological debates soon became inevitable. What had been formulated as a new scientific theory quickly developed into a new philosophical and cultural paradigm with repercussions in ethics, anthropology and theology.
