so we should be creationist? What sort of creationist; young earth, gap, etc.The Church obviously holds to the belief in divine creation just as scripture says.
This is a non-issue.An alt-right guy vs. Orthodox Christian
This should go to St Justin Martyrs.
Not this people!!
this either, but I am just trying to avoid or postpone the WW3 which always follows this question.
What others said, confirmed to me by my priest on an occasion.
There's no official teaching. Evolution could be real but it would still be a work of God, and the consensus is that Genesis is at times and places (intentionally) poetic, not literal.
I personally can't stand Biblical literalists. Tradition of the Fathers very clearly tells us that certain parts of the Bible are not meant to be taken literally, but rather as a parable or metaphor. I mean, Jesus Himself was speaking in parables much of the time.
