Episode Synopsis

AMDG. How can evolution be compatible with the Catholic faith? Professor of Biology at Franciscan University of Steubenville Daniel Kuebler argues that Catholic students should embrace the theory of evolution. Dr. Kuebler answers several objections to evolutionary theory, grounding his answers in the Catholic doctrine. The professor explains why we shouldn’t be surprised by apparent conflicts (“The truth is bigger than our brains,” he says) and cautions students about two common pitfalls people fall into when discussing faith and evolution.
