• They no longer had to
wage a frontal attack.
• All they need to be is
to disguise as an
advocate of Science.

3. THE ORIGIN OF
SPECIES
In 1859, all 1500
copies of ‘On The
Origin of Species’
were sold out on
the first day of its
publication.

5. Naturalism?
• Sigmund Freud and
human’s animal instincts
• It’s a sense of reality that
does not accept realities
other than what nature
dictates.
• No divine intervention
• No rational thinking

generations, they had to reach up for higher branches

9. But it gets worse…
In 1871, Darwin published the
‘Descent of Man’ – men and
anthropoid apes must have
come from the same ancestor.

10. DID Man Really Come
From ApeS?
 Man came from apes
 Apes came from the lower mammals
 Lower mammals came from lizards and reptiles
 Reptiles came from fishes
 Fishes came from the cluster of living cells
The cluster of living cells started from one single
cell
This one single cell thrived- BY LUCK- in a mixture
of gases, molecules, and energy in the biotic soup.

11. • There should be an abundance
of fossil records which say one
specie evolves into another over
billions of years.
• The Java Man, Pilt Down Man,
and the Peking Man are all apes,
while the Neanderthal man is
really a man
• Nothing is found that is either
more than ape or less than man.

12. The Missing Link
* Australopithecus Ramidus

Even despite the
embarrassing lack of
evidence, evolution persists
because people do not want
to accept the alternative
theory- the Special
Creation.

13. Theory of Punctuated Equilibrium
• A bizarre theory that says evolution
happens so fast that they didn’t leave any
fossils behind.
• It’s like saying a reptile laid an egg and a
bird popped out!
• Which came first: Chicken or
Egg?

17. Why the Big Bang?
• Science Magazine revealed that
some shells of snails, though still
alive when tested by Carbon 14
methods were dated to be 26,000
years old.
• Once a newly killed seal when
tested by Carbon 14 methods were
dated to be dead 1, 300 years ago.
• In the sea near Hawaii, rocks were
formed by a volcano only 200
years ago, but when tested using
Potassium Argon method, it was
formed 22 million years ago.

18. Think About It…
• If evolution is true, then Adam and Eve did
not exist.
• If they did not exist, there is no Original Sin.
• If there’s no original sin, there’s no need for
redemption.
• If there’s no need for redemption, there’s no
need for the Second person of the Blessed
Trinity to become man and die on the cross.

19. Reconciling Faith and Science
• Science is a very successful way of knowing, but
not the only way. We acquire many knowledge in
different ways such as literature, arts,
philosophical reflection, and religious experience
• Science seeks material
explanations for material
processes, but it has nothing
definitive to say about realities
beyond its scope.
