GENESIS IS HISTORY?! What Your Textbooks Won’t Tell You ~ Hugh Owen

About this sermon

What happens when “creation-based natural science” meets “evolution-based scientism”? This talk walks through the Church’s perennial teaching on creation (Catechism of Trent, Fathers & Doctors), St. Augustine’s real position, the role of Aristotle’s causes, and how Enlightenment philosophy, Lyell & Darwin reshaped modern assumptions. You’ll hear a personal conversion story, why Genesis 1–11 is history (Humani generis), and how uniformitarianism undergirds today’s “consensus.” Key takeaways Theology is the queen of the sciences; creation (a supernatural work) belongs to theology, while natural science studies natures and relationships—not origins. The Fathers (incl. Augustine) defended the literal, historical truth of Genesis; the six-day creation and the Sabbath pattern are formative, not figurative. Enlightenment philosophy → uniformitarian geology → Darwinian biology = a chain of assumptions that displace Revelation with “scientism.” Aristotelian causes (material, efficient, formal, final) remain powerful tools for real science and medicine. Why embryology/Haeckel’s drawings misled generations, and why chapters of Catholic history (Vatican I, Leo XIII, Pius X) still matter. #Creation #Catholic #Genesis #Theology #Scientism #StAugustine #CatechismOfTrent #NaturalLaw #Philosophy #Aristotle #VaticanI #HumaniGeneris #CatholicApologetics #ProLife #Darwin Chapters (timestamps) 0:00 Intro 0:35 Opening prayer 0:56 Topic & agenda: Creation-based science vs. evolution-based scientism 1:14 What is science?
