What Can Evolutionary Biology Contribute to Theology, and vice versa? By Celia Deane-Drummond
Evidenzia (giallo) - Posizione 11
Can theologians consider what biologists say about the world important for their understanding of God?
Nota - Posizione 12
LA DOMANDA
Evidenzia (giallo) - Posizione 17
Theology concerns itself with the spiritual realm as well as the creaturely, material world. To forget that as creatures we are both spiritual and earthly beings is to open the door to what in the history of the Christian Church is known as the Manichaean heresy. This ancient set of beliefs took the world of matter to be intrinsically evil,
Nota - Posizione 19
RISCHIO MANICHEISMO
Evidenzia (giallo) - Posizione 22
Some recent theologians have started to experiment with ways of understanding the incarnation by speaking of “deep incarnation.” The idea is that the incarnation is not only “deep” into human history but also into evolutionary history.
Nota - Posizione 23
DEEP INCARNATION
Evidenzia (giallo) - Posizione 23
landmark essay from 2001, “The Cross of Christ in an Evolutionary World,” Niels Henrik Gregersen
Evidenzia (giallo) - Posizione 31
the Jesuit priest and scholar Pierre Teilhard de Chardin (1881– 1955) took evolutionary biology very seriously.
Nota - Posizione 32
CHARDIN
Evidenzia (giallo) - Posizione 34
His belief that Christ was the Omega point to which all of evolutionary history ultimately pointed was a theological belief.
Nota - Posizione 35
OMEGA
Evidenzia (giallo) - Posizione 36
Catholic theologian and priest Karl Rahner (1904– 1984) also developed an approach to anthropology that took human evolution seriously
Nota - Posizione 37
RAHNER
Evidenzia (giallo) - Posizione 48
Aquinas’s understanding of science was somewhat different from our own, in part because medieval scholars did not divide up the disciplines in the same way that we do today. Nonetheless, his basic idea of an “analogy of being”— or analogia entis— between God and God’s creatures remains fruitful. This idea reminds us that whatever we say about God— for instance about God’s Goodness, Justice, or Wisdom— we say only by analogy to what these words mean in the human context, because God is not simply another being, more perfect than all other beings;

TOMMASO E L ANALOGIA
Evidenzia (giallo) - Posizione 56
Urs von Balthasar (1905– 1988), offers a useful and productive concept, that of “theo-drama.” The idea is that God acts in human history according to a pattern that bears some analogy with the great drama of Christ’s life, passion, and resurrection.
Nota - Posizione 59
THEO DRAMA
Evidenzia (giallo) - Posizione 65
Natural selection presupposes that there are certain traits or characteristics that are “selected for” in given, fixed environments. These new theories— often grouped together as the extended evolutionary synthesis (EES) or niche construction theory (NCT)— suggest that this picture of natural selection is one-sided. In reality, organisms seek out new environments and then change those environments, constructing their own “niches.” This process of niche construction actively transforms the kind of selection pressures that were previously assumed to be constant.
Nota - Posizione 67
NUOVE TEORIE
Nota - Posizione 68
NICCHIA
Evidenzia (giallo) - Posizione 76
I have suggested, for instance in my book Christ and Evolution (2009), that theo-drama be understood as analogous to biological accounts of niche construction.
Evidenzia (giallo) - Posizione 81
why on earth would evolutionary biologists be interested in theology?
Nota - Posizione 81
SECONDA DOMANDA
Evidenzia (giallo) - Posizione 84
theology can challenge in productive ways some of the deep-seated assumptions of secular anthropology, suggesting new lines of empirical research.
Nota - Posizione 84
RUOLO DELLA TEOLOGIA
Evidenzia (giallo) - Posizione 85
To take just one example, consider symbolic thought, which has gained considerable traction of late as one of the distinctive marks of human identity in evolutionary anthropology. We are the symbolic species, as neuro-anthropologist Terrence Deacon has claimed.
Nota - Posizione 86
ES DEL PENSIERO SIMBOLICO
Evidenzia (giallo) - Posizione 92
the broader point is clear: theology and evolutionary science can challenge and influence each other in fruitful ways.
Nota - Posizione 93
CONCLUSIONE

Discussion Summary
Nota - Posizione 100
TITOLO
Evidenzia (giallo) - Posizione 101
the common supposition that evolutionary thought and theology are inevitably incompatible with each other is just as mistaken as a simple fusion of the two, as in evolutionary theism, where God simply works through evolutionary processes.
Nota - Posizione 102
EVOLUTIONARY THEOLOGY
Evidenzia (giallo) - Posizione 104
I refer less to God as Creator and more to a Christology that engages with evolutionary questions and topics. I also outlined an understanding of salvation history through an expansive version of “theo-drama” that includes other creaturely beings.
Nota - Posizione 106
CRISTOLOGIA E TEODRAMA
Evidenzia (giallo) - Posizione 106
the relationship between a theological perspective and one parsed through the evolutionary sciences is best thought of in metaphysical terms as being analogous, rather than in literal correspondence.
Nota - Posizione 107
ANALOGIE
Evidenzia (giallo) - Posizione 111
if Christ overcomes death, why is there so much death in evolutionary terms
Nota - Posizione 111
IL PROB DELLA MORTE
Evidenzia (giallo) - Posizione 112
Or, what if species other than humans also have capabilities for symbolic (or implied, religious) thought?
Nota - Posizione 112
PROB ALTRE RAZZE
Evidenzia (giallo) - Posizione 113
threaten the special place of humans
Evidenzia (giallo) - Posizione 121
our evolutionary knowledge does raise huge questions about theodicy, such as how to affirm the goodness of God in an evolved world that is full of suffering and pain.
Nota - Posizione 122
EVO E MALE
Evidenzia (giallo) - Posizione 126
A few have even suggested that some repeated practices of chimpanzees such as throwing rocks at large selected— sacred?— trees may be a form of religious ritual.
Nota - Posizione 128
SCIMMIE RELIGIOSE. LA RELIGIONE NN UMANA
Evidenzia (giallo) - Posizione 141
Actually, even Thomas Aquinas recognized that other species had what he termed a form of practical wisdom, but it was directed to specific goals of sense appetite rather than the more deliberative type that is characteristic of human beings.
Nota - Posizione 142
AQUINO E LE ALTRE SPECIE
Evidenzia (giallo) - Posizione 165
My question for you is, are there any indications that evolutionary scientists are actually interested in listening to what theologians have to say about empirical research on the origins of symbolic thought and wisdom, etc.?
Nota - Posizione 166
DOMANDA
Evidenzia (giallo) - Posizione 175
The evolution of wisdom project at Notre Dame arose out of this sort of discussion between a theologian (me) and a scientist (Agustin Fuentes):
Nota - Posizione 176
PROGETTO SAGGEZZA FUENTES
Evidenzia (giallo) - Posizione 185
Death itself— not only particular human deaths as consequences of human evil but presumably also all natural pain and suffering, especially of the innocent or weak— is taken to be life’s ultimate enemy that Christ overcomes (and that in the eschaton is said to be “no more”). How should we think theologically about the evolutionary process, in which death is evidently necessary for life, when theologically speaking Life ought to conquer Death (in whatever way one might interpret this)?
Nota - Posizione 188
DEEP INC E MORTE
Evidenzia (giallo) - Posizione 200
“The Word was Made Flesh.” Much of the debate among those who talk about deep incarnation is about what that phrase means.
Nota - Posizione 201
TEORA DELLA DEEP
Evidenzia (giallo) - Posizione 213
I have argued with other scholars such as Christopher Southgate and Elizabeth Johnson on this point precisely, since I think, like you, that if Christ is associated too tightly with the evolutionary story, this raises particular dangers for how to interpret present and future creation.
Nota - Posizione 214
PERICOLO
Evidenzia (giallo) - Posizione 233
Evolutionary anthropology, for example, presupposes that there is no direction to evolution,
Nota - Posizione 234
POSSIBILE PROBLEMA
Evidenzia (giallo) - Posizione 235
But there are scientists like Simon Conway Morris, for example, who are prepared to speak about evolution operating within restraints
Nota - Posizione 236
MORRIS
Evidenzia (giallo) - Posizione 238
So it is a misconception to think that evolution is just about contingent mutations of the gene and nothing else.
Nota - Posizione 238
ERRORE
Evidenzia (giallo) - Posizione 247
The theological question is “when did this group of hominins become self-conscious and aware of God?” That seems to be the mark of Adam
