Listen to the new podcast from Orthodox Wisdom Keys to Genesis: Divine Vision vs Human Philosophy - Fr. Seraphim Rose YT: https://youtu.be/QAFeQi72yDw Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/episode/1vBDEaDFkusADk4hpOkc5t?si=w-AE-2hFQD2CvNSpKnPhAw “Do you now see what is at stake in the argument between the Patristic understanding of Genesis and the doctrine of evolution? The doctrine of evolution attempts to understand the mysteries of God's creation by means of natural knowledge and worldly philosophy, not even allowing the possibility that there is something in these mysteries which places them beyond its capabilities of knowing; while the book of Genesis is an account of God's creation as seen in Divine vision by the God-seer Moses, and this vision is confirmed also by the experience of later Holy Fathers. Now, even though revealed knowledge is higher than natural knowledge, still we know that there can be no conflict between true revelation and true natural knowledge. But there can be conflict between revelation and human philosophy, which is often in error."
