Text of the page (random words):
question about the origins of the world and of man has been the object of many scientific studies which have splendidly enriched our knowledge of the age and dimensions of the cosmos the development of life forms and the appearance of man these discoveries invite us to even greater admiration for the greatness of the creator prompting us to give him thanks for all his works and for the understanding and wisdom he gives to scholars and researchers 73 284 the great interest accorded to these studies is strongly stimulated by a question of another order which goes beyond the proper domain of the natural sciences it is not only a question of knowing when and how the universe arose physically or when man appeared but rather of discovering the meaning of such an origin 73 despite these general sections on scientific discussion of the origins of the world and of man the catechism does not explicitly discuss the theory of evolution in its treatment of human origins 74 paragraph 283 has been noted as making a positive comment regarding the theory of evolution with the clarification that many scientific studies that have enriched knowledge of the development of life forms and the appearance of man refers to mainstream science and not to creation science 75 failed verification concerning the doctrine on creation ludwig ott in his fundamentals of catholic dogma identifies the following points as essential beliefs of the catholic faith de fide 76 all that exists outside god was in its whole substance produced out of nothing by god god was moved by his goodness to create
