EVOLUTION IS INCOMPATIBLE WITH MATERIALISM

 

 

The Pontifical Gregorian University in Rome currently opposes the merely materialistic explanation of Evolutionism.1 Materialism alone cannot explain the process of evolution, but is nevertheless the foundation of the evolutionary synthetic theory. The current course at the Gregorian deals only briefly with Materialism.2

Materialism is defective opinion about the nature of life, and thus Materialism is not sufficient to explain Evolutionism.3
