Description
Evolution and Dogma is a book written by John A. Zahm, an American Catholic priest and scientist, in 1896. The book explores the relationship between evolutionary theory and religious dogma, particularly within the Catholic Church. Zahm argues that evolution and the teachings of the Church are not necessarily in conflict, and that a reconciliation between the two is possible. He examines the history of the Church's response to evolutionary theory, including the controversy surrounding Charles Darwin's Origin of Species, and provides a detailed analysis of the scientific evidence for evolution. Zahm also discusses the implications of evolution for traditional Christian beliefs, such as the concept of original sin and the idea of a literal six-day creation. Throughout the book, Zahm emphasizes the importance of maintaining a balance between scientific inquiry and religious faith. Evolution and Dogma is considered a seminal work in the field of science and religion, and has been influential in shaping the dialogue between the two disciplines.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations. Because we believe this work is culturally important, we have made it available as part of our commitment for protecting, preserving, and promoting the world's literature in affordable, high quality, modern editions, that are true to their original work.
