summary:
With the great scientific advances, and the numerous discoveries of paleontology and the Genetics, it is worth asking whether the ancient religious cosmogony of Genesis still has something to contribute to the discussion that science has raised about the origin of man or, on the contrary, if it would not be wiser to withdraw modestly from the academic field with its mythical language, useful for the homiletic genre and pious exhortation.
With a series of texts and brief audiovisual material, I intend to demonstrate that Genesis produced the greatest leap of knowledge in history, and that it is more topical than it is ordinarily granted. Finally, I will try to clarify what exactly the Church says today about the origin of man.
