Incidentally, Mr. Safdie's proposal for the National Gallery of Ireland was one of 10 commissioned entries in a competition to select a design and an architect for the project. His design was not selected. The one thing I hope this letter will accomplish is to encourage the use of true statements rather than opinions touted as truths in future discussions of Telfair's proposed museum expansion. They accept creation through evolution. As a Catholic priest I consider creation through evolution to be more reasonable.
Evolutionists are either atheists or believers.
Believers propose an evolution under the direction and control of a God, extrinsic to evolution. Besides, creation is not a single act, but an ongoing continuing act by which God sustains what He created and allows the process of growth and development to continue. I do not believe that all the existing animals and humans evolved from one single form of the simplest cell life in a linear ascent, nor have evolutionists proved it beyond a doubt. But evolution at different stages is a credible hypothesis. Human person is a rational animal.
