Your fellow Abrahamic niggas be doing that for you. In fact I really don't understand how there are morons denying shit on here when the goddamn catholic church; not the modern church or anything had early proponents of such views and showed how to reconcile scientific discovery with their religious belief

St. George Jackson Mivart,12 the English anatomist and systematic zoölogist who, at age seventeen, gave up his dreams of an Oxford education in order to enter the Catholic Church. His On the Genesis of Species (1871), the first book-length Catholic comment on Darwin’s work was, like d’Halloy’s Éléments de géologie, fundamentally a work of science. He accepted Darwin’s transformism but expressed reservations about the reach of natural selection, as did many other scientists in the decades following the publication of Darwin’s Origin of Species in 1859. Two points in Mivart’s book are particularly worth noting.

The first is his distinction between absolute and derivative creation, between the “origination of any thing by God without pre-existing means or material” and “the formation of any thing by God derivatively; that is, that the preceding matter has been created with the potentiality to evolve from it, under suitable conditions, all the various forms it subsequently assumes.” 13 Creation does not necessarily mean absolute creation and evolution is not a negation of providence.14

to be fair muslims are a tad worse in their active detestment and defacement of literal historical artifacts but Christians used to do the same shit especially early on
