Evolution. how could you explain the extinction of say, the Dinosaurs if God does not make mistakes- and B. animals are incapable of sin? This was the real break-point as there was some rapprochement with communications devices- such as telegraph ( alluded to in battle hymn)- Telephones and radio- as these could be used to spread the gospel- and are!

Catholic AnswerProbably evolution, which was never much of a theory to begin with, and has never had any proof. Any time you try to explain things without God, you tend to run into trouble. The Church has said that evolution would be fine to "believe in" as long as you know that the first human pair was directly created by God, and that He put a human soul into them, they did not evolve from animals without God's intervention. However, evolutionists have never been able to come up with any proof whatsoever that one species evolved from another, so it is not something to worry about.Wiki User
