"For me You have created the skies scattered with stars...and all the beautiful things on earth."
St. Maximilian Kolbe
Dear Friends of the Kolbe Center,
 
Pax Christi!
 
The ultimate purpose of the Kolbe Center is the salvation and sanctification of souls. All the arguments that we present from theology, philosophy and natural science against the evolutionary hypothesis have this purpose—because faith in molecules-to-man evolution erodes or destroys faith in God and prevents unbelievers from receiving the gift of Faith in the Gospel of Jesus Christ. 
 
Adolf Eichmann was a Nazi official charged with implementing the round-up and internment of millions of Jews in concentration camps. At the end of his life, Eichmann was kidnapped from his adopted home in South America and taken to Israel to stand trial for crimes against humanity. After being sentenced to death by an Israeli court, Eichmann was visited several times by an Evangelical pastor named William Hull who received permission from the Israeli authorities to meet with Eichmann and who sought to bring the condemned man to repentance and faith in Jesus Christ. The Struggle for a Soul describes Hull’s meetings with Adolf Eichmann and highlights the terrible spiritual consequences of failing to attack the stronghold of faith in evolution head on.
Adolf Eichmann (1906-1962)

Although Eichmann had been raised a Christian, as a young man he embraced the evolutionary hypothesis then in favor with most of the intellectual elite in Germany. At several critical points in his discussions with Pastor Hull, Eichmann made clear that he firmly believed in an evolutionary god who had evolved the first human beings through a natural process involving hundreds of millions of years of death, deformity, disease, and violent struggle for survival. Tragically, Pastor Hull sought to ignore Eichmann’s faith in evolution and to focus his attention on Jesus Christ, His Passion, death and Resurrection, and on the absolute necessity of faith in Him for salvation—but Eichmann continually challenged the reliability of the Gospel and the exclusive claims of Jesus on the grounds of the alleged scientific evidence for evolution. On one occasion, Eichmann asked:
 … why did God wait … millions of years, from the beginning of creation, and only provide this salvation through His Son two thousand years ago?
On another occasion Eichmann quoted the philosopher Spinoza to the effect that “in this world there exists nothing that is evil in itself.” And Eichmann added his own comment:
Man, a product of development willed by the Creator, is still in the early stages of becoming, only on the way toward perfection . . . Our former animal instincts will disappear by our own efforts within ourselves. But human development toward perfection must be measured not in generations but in aeons.
Hull continually refused to challenge Eichmann’s faith in long ages of evolution and thus failed to address the condemned man’s persistent rationalization for his behavior. According to Eichmann, god had used hundreds of millions of years of violent struggle for existence to evolve the “more fit” at the expense of the inferior races. Thus, he could not bring himself to repent from the heart for his participation in a eugenics program which had merely sought to accomplish efficiently and scientifically what god had accomplished through natural selection over millions of years. Had Pastor Hull exposed the fatal flaws in the evolutionary hypothesis and demonstrated that it was, in Sir Ernst Chain’s words, “an hypothesis without evidence and against the facts,” he might well have been able to break down the apparent contradiction between the living God of the New Testament and the evolutionary god of death and destruction.

However, like so many Christians today, Hull mistakenly believed that the Gospel could be reconciled with evolution and long ages and, so, he did not see the necessity of attacking this stronghold. As a result, Eichmann went to his death refusing to believe in a Gospel which in his view had been rendered obsolete and irrelevant by evolutionary “science.” As Eichmann expressed himself in a letter to Hull:
I am not prepared to accept anything that disagrees with my naturalistic conceptions.
Before he dropped to his death by hanging, Eichmann affirmed his belief in god. But his god was not the living God of the Bible and Catholic Tradition. It was the evolutionary, Hegelian god of aeons of death and destruction.
If only St. Maximilian Kolbe had been able to counsel Eichmann and to disabuse him of his misguided faith in evolution before he died! We can only pray that through the intercession of the Immaculata, of St. Maximilian, and of all the saints, all souls invincibly ignorant of the whole truth of the Gospel might receive the grace of final repentance and salvation before they enter eternity.

Yours in Christ through the Immaculata, in union with St. Joseph,
Hugh Owen

P.S. I will be giving a talk at the Franciscan University of Steubenville on Wednesday, September 29, at 7 p.m. on "Creation, Evolution and the Crisis of Faith," sponsored by the Juventutem chapter at the university. Please pray that the talk will be well received and that it will help to begin to restore the teaching of the traditional doctrine of creation on the Steubenville campus. If you would like to watch the presentation live-streamed from Franciscan University, please use this link at 7 p.m. EST.

The True Conception of the World according to Hildegard von Bingen - MP3 Audiobook
In this translation of Helmut Posch’s important work on the writings of St. Hildegard of Bingen on creation, biophysicist Dr. Dean H. Kenyon shows that this Benedictine nun and Doctor of the Church was shown the workings of the solar system on the same pattern as that conceived by the Danish astronomer Tycho Brahe, the greatest astronomer of his age, several hundred years before him. Dr. Kenyon’s translation goes on to show that this Hildegardian conception of the universe actually explains the astronomical data better than the alternative models of the solar system that have been in fashion for the last few hundred years, while restoring man and the Earth to their rightful place in God’s plan for Creation.

The Light Comes from the East
On October 13, 1917, almighty God worked the greatest public miracle since the Resurrection of Our Lord Jesus Christ to prove that the warning of Our Lady of Fatima was urgent and true. In her messages to the three children of Fatima, the Blessed Virgin explained that She would come to ask for the Consecration of Russia to her Immaculate Heart by the Pope and the Bishops and that if this Consecration was done, Russia would be converted and a period of peace would be granted to the world. The Light Comes from the East reveals the deep significance of Our Lady’s appeal for the consecration of Russia in the light of the history of the relationship between Latin and Eastern Catholic Christianity. It also demonstrates that the consecrations of 1984 and 2000 have not fulfilled Our Lady’s request and that the peace of the world depends upon the exact fulfillment of that request as soon as possible.

Genesis Through the Eyes of the Saints - MP3 Audiobook
Genesis through the Eyes of the Saints shows how the private revelations of the greatest mystical saints of the Catholic Church regarding creation and the early history of mankind agree perfectly with God’s revelation to Moses in Genesis 1-11, while the private revelations of modern-day theistic evolutionists like Fr. Teilhard de Chardin pervert and contradict that fundamental doctrine.

The Genesis Documents - E-Book (PDF)
In The Genesis Documents IT specialist Mike Gladieux has produced one of the most comprehensive and thoroughly-researched commentaries on Genesis 1-11 in modern times. In a work of about 500 pages, Mike draws upon the insights of the greatest commentators on Genesis in Hebrew, Latin and Greek, including virtually every Church Father and Doctor whose writings on Genesis have been preserved. In the process, Mike makes a very strong case that much of the sacred history of Genesis was redacted by Moses from information recorded on clay tablets by the patriarchs who preceded him. No one who reads The Genesis Documents with an open mind will be able to take seriously the widespread view that Genesis 1-11 belongs to the genre of poetry or myth rather than sober history.

VACCINATION: A Catholic Perspective
In Vaccination: A Catholic Perspective, Biologist Pamela Acker provides a balanced examination of the whole subject of vaccination from a Catholic perspective which will allow Catholic leaders from the Pope and the Bishops down to parents and teachers to make an informed judgment on proposals to mandate vaccinations for the novel coronavirus or for other infectious diseases. The author is ideally qualified to undertake this task. A devout Catholic with a master's degree in Biology from the Catholic University of America, Pamela worked in the field of vaccine development and has the right combination of knowledge and experience to evaluate the scientific basis for vaccination as currently practiced. In her book, Miss Acker takes the reader through the history of vaccination while giving a comprehensive introduction to the marvels of the divinely-designed human immune system. Drawing upon the latest research in the field, Miss Acker elucidates the many problematic aspects of vaccination as currently practiced and explains how they flow out of a materialistic, mechanistic, evolution-based understanding of the human person which tends to see man as a collection of parts rather than as a divinely-designed body-soul composite. With powerful examples she shows how the evolution-based approach to the study of disease has had disastrous consequences for scientific and medical research and has supported the maintenance of inadequate criteria for evaluating the efficacy and the dangers of vaccination as currently practiced.
