EWTNespanol・18 minutes read
Humans did not evolve from monkeys, with the Bible's symbolic narratives emphasizing moral teachings over factual events, and the presence of tools and funerary monuments alongside human-like remains suggesting their humanity. Evolutionism remains a hypothesis, with ongoing debates in the scientific community and notable figures like Professor Will Smith opposing Darwinian evolution.
Insights
- Human evolution theories often rely on archaeological discoveries of human-like remains alongside tools, fire remnants, and funerary monuments, suggesting a human connection due to these distinct human activities.
- The Bible's narratives are best understood through literary genres like historical, epic, lyrical, or allegorical, emphasizing moral teachings over scientific or historical accuracy, with symbolic interpretations of events like Joshua stopping the sun or God creating Adam from clay to convey spiritual truths.

Debate over human evolution and biblical interpretation.
- Media and educational institutions often claim that humans evolved from monkeys based on archaeological discoveries of human remains resembling monkeys in Ethiopia, Kenya, and other places dating back millions of years.
- The presence of tools, fire remains, and funerary monuments alongside these human-like remains suggests they were indeed human, as only humans use tools, fire, and create funerary monuments.
- The Bible, being a religious book, should be understood in terms of its literary genres, such as historical, epic, lyrical, or allegorical, rather than taken literally.
- The Bible's focus is on conveying religious messages rather than scientific or historical accuracy, with stories like Job, Jonah, and the Prodigal Son emphasizing moral teachings over factual events.
- The Bible's mention of Joshua stopping the sun or God creating Adam from clay should be interpreted symbolically rather than scientifically, as the Bible aims to convey spiritual truths.
- The concept of evolutionism, where God infuses a spiritual soul into a monkey's body to elevate it to a human, is a possible explanation accepted by the church, allowing for a harmonization of science and religious beliefs.
- Evolutionism is not a mandatory belief, and individuals are not obligated to accept it, as it remains a hypothesis rather than an indisputable fact.
- Despite the prevalence of evolutionism in educational settings and the media, many scientists do not adhere to this theory, highlighting the ongoing debate and lack of definitive proof in the field of human origins.

Debating Evolution: Science, Soul, and Immortality
- Evolutionism is a debatable topic with varying opinions, and individuals are not obligated to adhere to it. Some scientists, like German Nielsen Hardley, argue that evolution between species is not possible, leading to a crisis in the scientific theory of species evolution.
- Recent biological findings show that human chromosomes are identical, indicating a common human family, while primate chromosomes differ significantly. This challenges the idea that humans evolved from primates, with many scientists rejecting Darwinian evolutionism.
- Notable figures like Professor Will Smith and geneticists have published works opposing biological evolution, highlighting the fallacies in Darwinism. Mathematician Sol Sal mathematically demonstrates the improbability of progressive evolution, suggesting that the evolution from the first living cell to humans is practically impossible.
- The focus shifts to the importance of having a spiritual soul, emphasizing its immortality beyond physical death. The text stresses the significance of preparing for eternal life and the belief in the soul's immortality, contrasting it with the mortality of the physical body.
