This thought-provoking talk explores the consequences of the Fall, original sin, and how suffering in nature intersects with the evolution debate. Drawing from the Catechism of the Catholic Church and reflections on Charles Darwin’s famous struggle with the problem of suffering—especially the parasitic wasp example discussed in letters to Asa Gray—the discussion examines whether carnage, disease, and imperfection argue against design or instead point to a fallen creation. With references to Cornelius G. Hunter, William Paley, and insights from C. S. Lewis’s The Problem of Pain, the video considers how theology, evolution, and the doctrine of original sin intersect in forming a unified Christian worldview.
Speaker Fr. Martin Hilbert.
