Evolution and the Catholic faith continued...Page 7

What did the Polish member of European Parliament deputy and biology Professor Maciej Giertych call for in October 2006 at the European Parliament?

Maciej Giertych (a Catholic family man), called for an end to the monopoly of Darwinian theory in the teaching of evolution in schools.

Why?

Maciej stated, 'I am a scientist, I am a geneticist, my specialty is population genetics and I reject the theory of evolution on the basis of the field of science I represent. I find that in many fields of science there are scientists who reject the theory of evolution because in their fields they also find evidence against the theory.’ End of quote.

For past decades, biology classes in Poland and around the world have focused practically exclusively on Darwinian theory when tackling the subject of evolution. Prof. Giertych and his colleagues see room for reform in this respect. Notice here, he is not fully against evolution, he just sees room for reform in this area with regards how it is thought.

In conclusion...

In conclusion to this discussion, I see that, although the Catholic Church does not see any problems with the belief in the theory of evolution so long as it does not affect ones faith in God. It is worth noting that much discussion will have to take place among Catholic theologians with regards this theory as it most certainly has affected many of those of the Christian faith especially here in Europe.

Perhaps, I could get the ball rolling here…..
