Angelus Press interviewed Fr Robinson about his book for its January/February 2019 issue.
Father, it has now been nine months since the publication of your book, and it seems to have stirred up some controversy!Indeed, it has. And while I did not write the book for that purpose, I did anticipate that it might make some waves.What has the controversy centered on?Really, something that is a small part of the entire work, namely, the contents of chapter 7 (there are 11 chapters all up). In that chapter, I voice some strong objections to Young Earth Creationism (YEC) and point out that Catholics are free to embrace the Big Bang Theory, if they wish.Why do you object to YEC? Isn’t that the safest of positions?On the contrary, I find it to be quite dangerous. It runs straight into theological, philosophical, and scientific problems.To read the rest of the interview, go to the
