It took me longer than I’d like to admit to realize it was total bullshit and start to really understand evolution. it also stunted my development of critical thinking skills. I love science and the natural world so much, I still don’t know if I can forgive my folks for doing that.
Shoutout to AromRa on YouTube for his creationism/evolution videos.
I mean in Catholic teaching of Felix Culpa the sin is deliberately baked in to allow humanity to become more than it could be without it. To have a soul is to have the capacity to defy god, and the knowledge of lost communion with the divine when you do. Jesus’ redemption thus allows a recommunion with god, but as fully realised beings.
