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
