Thanks to Heather King for making better known the important work of theologian John F. Haught in “Evolution and faith, working hand in hand.” When evolutionary evidence contradicts doctrines based on a literal interpretation of the Book of Genesis, it is imperative that we come to a more refined explanation of Church teaching. If we fail to do so, we will certainly see more people with a basic understanding of science who find the Church irrelevant because we are either unable or unwilling to reconcile the Good News and the eternal truth we possess with the discoveries of science.
