summary

There is an evolutionary trend toward Beauty as the harmony of the fullness of forms and functions. In this sense, science allows us to affirm that, over time, beings of greater complexity have emerged in which Truth, Goodness, and Beauty are united. data allow us to propose a scenario that is rationally consistent with the doctrine of the creation of the first human couple. This explanation, which I propose, includes the thesis there is no contradiction between monogenism—as thesis most consistent with the teachings of the Magisterium on the origin of the human being—and evolutionary science.
