Cardinal Burke - The Old Testament | SRS #337

What was said

"evolution proves that the book of Genesis is is false. Well, that isn't true. First of all, evolution is a theory. This is not scientifically uh demonstrated."

Cardinal Raymond Leo Burke says that what is “scientifically proven” cannot contradict the Bible, and rejects the idea that evolution proves Genesis is false. He characterises evolution as “a theory” and “not scientifically demonstrated”, while arguing that creation is not accidental and that humans are distinct because they have a soul.
