Feb 5, 2025
Fr. Stephen Brock, a priest and professor of Medieval Philosophy at the Pontifical University of the Holy Cross, delves into Aquinas's argument for God's existence. He discusses how nature's goal-directed behavior suggests an underlying intelligence, despite lacking cognition. Brock highlights the tension between classical philosophy and Darwinism, proposing that both can coexist in understanding life's complexities. He uses the analogy of an archer and arrow to illustrate divine influence in nature, revealing a harmonious interplay between intellect and evolution.
