God and Evolution: Fundamental Questions of Christian Evolutionism |
|
 “Archbishop Zycinski blends in a masterful way a concise history of the reactions to Darwinian evolution with his own evaluation of the influence of scientific evolution upon religious belief. As a renowned philosopher of science he has all of the credentials to carry out this very difficult project and he does so with great success. His treatise is an excellent example of how much can be accomplished by an intelligent dialogue among the cultures of science, philosophy and theology.” – George V. Coyne, S.J., Director of the Vatican Observatory

Creation and Evolution: A Conference With Pope Benedict XVI in Castel Gandolfo |
|
 “Ultimately it comes down to the alternative: What came first? Creative Reason, the Creator Spirit who makes all things and gives them growth, or Unreason, which, lacking any meaning, strangely enough brings forth a mathematically ordered cosmos, as well as man and his reason. The latter, however, would then be nothing more than a chance result of evolution and thus, in the end, equally meaningless. As Christians, we say: I believe in God the Father, the Creator of heaven and earth. I believe in the Creator Spirit. We believe that at the beginning of everything is the eternal Word, with Reason and not Unreason.” – Pope Benedict XVI
