Catholic Archdiocese of Perth

Welcome.

Evolution has been in the news lately.

The theory of evolution is simply a tool science uses to explain change and diversity. In itself it does not deny or affirm the existence of God.

Although I suspect some are trying to use the theory of evolution to promote their belief that God doesn't exist, that would be a misuse of science

Those of us who believe in God say that whatever came first came from God. God’s creation is an act of love for us.

We also say that whatever about the body, the human soul or spirit did not evolve but came from God in a unique way, making us the image and likeness of God. We are much more than our body.

I’m Barry Hickey, Catholic Archbishop of Perth
