Creation, Early Man, and Evolution | According to Modern Holy Fathers
Introduction
0:38 Fr. Seraphim Rose, Hieromonk of Platina, California (+1982) – Basic presuppositions for knowledge of creation and early man.
4:33 St. Ignatius Brianchaninov, Bishop of the Caucasus and Stavropol (+1867) – The state of creation before the Fall of Adam.
6:55 St. Hilarion (Troitsky), Hieromartyr and Archbishop of Verey (+1929) – The Church’s view leads to humility, the secular view leads to pride.
10:38 St. Nikolai (Velimirovic), Bishop of Zica (+1956) – “Death is Unnatural”
13:32 St. Justin (Popovic) of Celije (+1979) – How man and the rest of creation are inseparable. When man fell, all of creation fell.
15:22 St. Ambrose of Optina (+1891) – “Don’t believe at face value all kinds of nonsense…”
15:46 St. John of Kronstadt (+1908) – True knowledge and the over-educated.
16:49 St. Vladimir, Hieromartyr and Metropolitan of Kiev and Gallich (+1918) – Do not listen to teachings of unbelief for they “promise you nothing but despair and an inconsolable life.”
18:44 St. Theophan the Recluse, Bishop of Tambov (+1894) – Evolution is anathema, along with other secular Western philosophies, and only a pure nous can accurately contemplate divine reality.
29:19 St. Barsanuphius of Optina (+1913) – The moral ramifications of evolutionist philosophy.
30:05 St. Nectarios, Metropolitan of Pentapolis and Wonderworker of Aegina (+1920) – “Without the acceptance of revealed truth, man will remain an insoluble problem.”
31:42 Fr. Seraphim Rose (+1982) – Knowledge of creation and early man can only be obtained by divine illumination. (Editor’s Note: This essentially repeats his teaching from the beginning, but it is kept here since it is so key to our understanding.)
34:26 St. Luke the Surgeon, Archbishop of Simferopol (+1961) – Evolutionary theory is not only contradictory to the Scripture, but to nature itself.
35:54 St. Sophrony (Sakharov) the Athonite (+1993) – The absurdity of evolutionary theory.
36:57 St. Paisios of Mount Athos (+1994) – Monkeys are far from humans; evolutionary theory is blasphemy.
41:31 St. Justin (Popovic) of Celije (+1979) – His letter to a theology student asking about evolution in which he focuses on the impact of evolution on the Orthodoxy doctrine of salvation.
46:35 Fr. Seraphim Rose (+1982) – Brief overview of the keys to the Patristic understanding.
52:44 Hymns from Vigil of the Sunday of Forgiveness, The Casting Out of Adam from Paradise
54:33 Hymn from the Feast of the Elevation of the Holy Cross
The majority of these texts can be found in “Genesis, Creation, and Early Man” by Fr. Seraphim Rose, published by St. Herman’s Press.
