In part 2, you will learn about the purpose of creation, transcendent beauty, and the distinctiveness of the human person. The third part lays out the theology behind creation and how it reflects God's glory and concludes with Dr. Anthony Esolen's essay on the \"symphonic order\" of the universe, masterfully drawing from science, mathematics, literature, and philosophy. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e You will also learn: \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e What the Church \u003ci\u003ereally\u003c\/i\u003e teaches about evolution \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e How neo-Thomists wrongly apply Aquinas's thinking to evolution \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Characteristics that distinguish humans from the rest of creation \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Why materialistic scientists resist the Big Bang Theory \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e How to understand the biblical account of Creation \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e How natural law and transcendental beauty point to the existence of God \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Specific scriptures from the Old and New Testaments that testify to the wonder of God's creative hand \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Why Pope Benedict XVI cautioned that vague explanations about creation are insufficient \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003e Moreover, you will learn how the understanding of ancient philosophers and Aquinas regarding the mind-brain connection, coupled with modern neuroscience support intelligent design and the creation of man as not only a material being but a spiritual being. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e Each chapter includes extensive references, enabling further exploration.
