Learn how the tradition of the West has always valued “recapitulation” to integrate authentic advances in science with knowledge of God’s plan in Christ. Early Christian apologetics, mixed with immature understandings of cosmology from ancient times, always needs a new and better synthesis of faith and reason as reason and science advance. Saint Augustine often reminded us of this. The dogmas of the Trinity and Incarnation never change, but that doesn’t mean we can’t learn a lot more about the history of the human race and just how deep Christ’s redemption goes into a vast history of the human race.

P.S. Saint Augustine’s points about true religion are always fun to consider: “Platonism is false religion but Christianity is true philosophy.” Cheers.
