Darwin. Dawkins. Dennett. - This voluble triumvirate has gained
oracular status for many scientists and laypersons in the
contemporary world. But though the edifice of thought they have
erected over and against tradition and faith has gained currency in
today's nihilistic mind, it is now rapidly eroding in the serious
world of ideas. But what of that heady amalgam of Science and
Christianity first put together by Teilhard de Chardin, which
struck the Catholic world like a whirlwind around the time of the
Second Vatican Council and continues to the present day in the work
of such Catholic evolutionists as John Haught and Kenneth R.
Miller? What as a rule has rendered Catholics vulnerable to
Teilhardian tenets-apart from the fact that these conform to the
neo-humanist tendencies of our age-is that the theory is clad in
scientific garb: in the modern world, where Science speaks, it
appears even angels will listen. In Theistic Evolution, Wolfgang
Smith shows himself to be that rare person thoroughly grounded in
both science and theology, and what he proves through detailed and
rigorous argument is that Teilhard de Chardin has in fact sold us a
veritable science-fiction theology. This book, however, is much
more than a masterful and indeed definitive refutation of theistic
evolutionism: it is at the same time an incomparable introduction
to long-forgotten metaphysical and theological truths. In language
at once precise and lucid the author recalls teachings going back
to the Greek and Latin Fathers, and explains their bearing on
questions about the nature of God and man bungled at the hands of
many contemporary scientists and theologians.
