The all but total abandonment of the fundamental distinction between the order of creation and providence in today\u2019s Catholic intellectual discourse lies at the root of the crisis of faith and morals afflicting the faithful today.\u00a0 The \u201cnew orthodoxy\u201d of theistic evolution rests on the false Enlightenment assumption that the same material processes operating in the world today have been operating in more or less the same way since the beginning of the cosmos and that natural scientists can legitimately extrapolate from their observations of the natural world to explain the origins of man and the universe. \u00a0No Father or Doctor of the Church would have entertained this idea for a moment, because God\u2019s Revelation in Genesis as understood in the Church from the beginning clearly stated that the entire work of creation was supernatural, that it was finished with the creation of Adam and Eve, and that the natural order of Providence did not begin until the entire work of creation was finished and God \u201crested\u201d from His creative work.<\/p>\n
