To this day the question of the world’s creation and the origin of the nations is the subject of numerous debates and disputes. The author asserts that Christian teaching on the origin of the universe in no way contradicts authentic science. The reader is presented with proof of the world’s divine origins, substantiated by modern scientific discoveries. This book gives a detailed description of the most enigmatic period in human history—the time from Adam until the exodus of Israel from Egypt. “Every word of God is pure: he is a shield unto them that put their trust in him. Add thou not unto his words, lest he reprove thee, and thou be found a liar” (Prov. 30:5–6).0:12 Excerpt from the Forward2:21 Chapter 2: Evolutionism and the Origin of Death4:04 Fr. Daniel examines Orthodox teachers who error, beginning with Fr. Stefan Lyashevsky who teaches that death was normal in Paradise, that animals “devoured each other”7:41 The views of Fr. Alexander Men, writes Fr. Daniel “...death is the essential and original state of the world, and it leads to good. He deliberately confuses the providential work of the Lord with the creative.”12:09 Fr. Daniel quotes Fr. Seraphim Rose in defense of the patristic view12:54 The views of Bishop Vasily (Rodzyanko): “The world in which we live in was not created by God.”18:11 The key error of Bishop Vasily: “that the logoi of creation are identical to the creations themselves.”21:57 It is clear that attempting to reconcile Orthodoxy with evolution undermines the very roots of revelation22:40 Evolution destroys the very reason Christ’s coming to earth was necessaryLearn more about Fr.
