Catholic Creationist: St. Augustine | Episode 2: Augustine vs. Trent Horn

The second episode in our St. Augustine debate series. Does St. Augustine actually think Catholics should NOT listen to the experts when they contradict the Faith?

Let's see how Catholic scholar and apologist Trent Horn's take on the great Doctor stands up to the words of Doctor Augustine himself.

This St. Augustine vs Trent Horn episode was definitely insightful, interesting how Trent just pontificates without really citing a source and all you're doing is letting St. Augustine talk. Keep doing what you're doing!

Good grief! This guy really brands himself as the "Counsel of Trent"?!🙄That's not even remotely cute.

This was a joy to watch. So much information. Took away more from this video than other conservative Catholic videos that are many times longer. How would you recommend overcoming the term "fundamentalism" that comes up over and over when these doctrines of creation are covered. I saw one of your other videos and you are right, the term did come out in the 1920s! How can the Catholic conservative commentators not do their research like your institute has done?

It is impressive how categorically Saint Augustine contradicts the errors of modern scientism and theistic evolution ante nomen. It is equally impressive -- in a bad way -- how Catholics who should know better invoke against him the authority of none other than ... Saint Augustine!

I find the video strange. It sounds a bit too much like a conspiracy theory to my ears. Theology and physics have completely different methods. As far as I know, physicists are well aware that the models they develop based on empirical findings are just that. Furthermore, the video lacks a passage from the Catechism that shows that there is a contradiction between church doctrine and science. Or rather, which doctrine or dogma is supposed to be in danger here.

Trouble is, as I see it, the theory of evolution is not a scientific discovery at all.

This might be the most offensive video I’ve ever seen on Saint Augustine. The great irony being that you have misinterpreted his words as u accuse Trent Horn of doing the same. Did Paul not say to admire all creation and its laws as a part of revelation?

[JamesBond-qdrc]

Agree with your presentation. Thank you.

[TakoTaiko]

I was waiting for a video like this. I which it was longer and I hope it gets more views. I now sort of understand why is he so against of YEC.

[franzchristianvelasco]

None of the quotes you mentioned here refute Trent Horn's position

[bolapromatoqueejogodecampe]

Can someone cite an evidence for evolution, as in universal common descent?

[Redcrimson]

I was under the impression that the RCC put out an encyclical teaching that evolution is compatible with Genesis?

[johnbrion]

God created science so there is no conflict. Augustine was not all knowing. We know science works as you are posting videos electronically on your computer transmitted to anyone around the world.

bro pitted a modern apologist against a departed Saint and ended up being the loser himself

not a good look slandering Fr Lemaitre
