The 65 Million Myth

Film Review: Is Genesis History?

“Look at those other impious men who work with all their strength to destroy our holy religion by their writings, a Voltaire, a Jean Jacques Rousseau, a Diderot, an Ingersoll, a Darwin, and so many others, who only lived to disseminate by their writings what the devil had instilled in them. Alas! They have worked a great deal of misery, they have ruined countless souls and cast them into hell; but they could not destroy religion, as they believed—they were dashed to pieces on that rock.”

– St. Jean Marie Vianney, Sermon for the Third Sunday of Advent

The 65 Million Myth

A Major Fallacy Behind The Transitional Species Argument

“Evolutionists see in this gradation [of organic things] evidence that the ‘higher forms’ of life developed from the ‘lower forms.’ What they ought to see is not that one thing evolved from another, but that all things came from the same Maker, who, like human artists, inclines to repeat and re-apply and develop the same ideas in one thing and another.”
– Fr. James Wathen

Book Review: Dante Alighieri: Citizen of Christendom by Fr. Gerald G. Walsh, S.J.

“For We admire in him not only supreme height of genius but also the immensity of the subject which holy religion put to his hand. If his genius was refined by meditation and long study of the great classics it was tempered even more gloriously, as We have said, by the writings of the Doctors and the Fathers which gave him the wings on which to rise to a higher atmosphere than that of restricted nature. And thus it comes that, though he is separated from us by centuries, he has still the freshness of a poet of our times: certainly more modern than some of those of recent days who have exhumed the Paganism banished forever by Christ’s triumph on the Cross.” – Pope Benedict XV
