A philosophical approach to debunking evolution. Fr. Ripperger uses simple principles of logic and reason to show how the concept of macroevolution is inherently irrational and illogical. Some of the logical principles that you will learn about include the "principle of hierarchy of being", “excluded middle”, “non-contradiction”, “sufficient reason”, “cause is greater than the effect”, “proportionate causality,” “resemblance”, and “operation”.
