摘要:Summary This article examines the relationship between the contemporary pastoral and catechetical activity in respect to the fact of evolution, i.e. reflects upon the approach to this important segment of scientific inquiries in the contemporary pastoral context. Furthermore, an overview of some key segments of the problem is offered. It is a question of science, but its cultural and theological-pastoral care echoes are self-evident. The article warns us of wrong approaches and exaggerations which do not do justice to the teaching of the Church regarding the evolution theory. Interdisciplinary approach is the backbone of the methodology, considering the natural sciences, theology and philosophy, as well as the outcomes of the pastoral experiences.
