John, your discussion with Gary Michuta was a real game-changer for me. I’m a recovering atheist, with a degree in Math. So, like you, I like to square my Catholic faith with science whenever I can. I had no idea that there were multiple theories regarding Adam & Eve that do exactly that! I’ve already shared this discovery with other scientifically-oriented friends, and it has resonated with them very much. Thanks for all you do with this podcast, John!
Thanks, Dan, for the comment! I hope the discussion and article help Catholics grasp this issue better. I think it will help our young students comprehend what they are learning in school without losing the faith.
