5/20/25 - Hugh Owen, founder and director of the Kolbe Center for the Study of Creation, recounts his inspiring journey from a secular upbringing to becoming one of the foremost Catholic voices defending the traditional doctrine of special creation. After converting to the Catholic faith at Princeton University in 1972, Hugh pursued academic studies in history and education, earning degrees from New York University and Bank Street College. He dedicated over two decades to teaching and school administration before turning to full-time writing and Catholic apologetics. In the Jubilee Year 2000, he established the Kolbe Center to unite theologians, scientists, and philosophers who challenge evolutionary theory and uphold the literal and historical interpretation of Genesis 1–11. In this conversation, Hugh shares personal reflections, scholarly insights, and his mission to restore confidence in the Church's timeless teachings on origins, bridging the gap between faith and science for a new generation.

In this episode of The Cordial Catholic, I'm joined by Hugh Owen, the founder and director of the Kolbe Center for the Study of Creation to talk about the Catholic perspective on the literal story of creation. Can Catholics believe in a literal reading of Genesis? Has the Catholic Church officially adopted the theory of evolution? What does the science actually say? And what is lost is the typical discussion between science, evolution, and creation? Hugh joins me to unpack these questions and more with some pretty fascinating perspectives to questions and concerns that – I know – are on the minds of many Protestant Christians who are considering Catholicism – and many Catholics looking to reconcile the literal reading of the Bible with Science and the Catholic faith.

3/20/25 - As we enter into a deeper apostasy as a society, looking at the first things, especially Creation, the Fall, and the first Good News, will help us to see where we have erred so that we can correct our course. In Loved, Lost and Found, Hugh Owen gives a scientific perspective on why we need to go back to what God revealed in Genesis 1-11. The modernist believes that the god of theistic evolution used a process of death, disease, extinction and natural selection to produce mankind, and he inserts billions of years between Genesis 1:1 and Genesis 11. By aligning his theology with the speculations of fallible human scientists, the modernist sows doubt among the faithful and slips into scientism. This book will cause “the scales to fall from our eyes” (cf. Acts 9:18), to see the errors that have infected modern theology like a cancer.

We're about to embark on a whirlwind tour of the battle of science vs. the religion of evolution, guided by Pamela Acker, through the complex world of young Earth creationism, skepticism toward evolution, and the scientific debates that these views provoke. The journey will take us from our personal perspectives to the cutting-edge realms of genetics and radiocarbon dating. We'll be revealing our transformation from evolutionists to young Earth creationists, sharing our experiences, and shedding light on contentious issues like the acceptance of evolution within the Catholic community and the dating of dinosaur bones. Join us as we unpack the controversy surrounding the discovery of soft tissue in dinosaur bones and how it shook the foundations of traditional biochemistry. We'll also take you through the misconceptions around genetics and evolution, particularly the disputed similarities between humans and chimpanzees. Our conversation doesn't shy away from controversial theories, like the one suggesting humans must have had ancestors who laid eggs. If that's not enough, we'll also dive deep into the fascinating realm of genetic entropy and its implications for our understanding of evolution and cosmology.We're thrilled to have Pamela Acker from the Kolbe Center joining us as we navigate the intriguing intersection of evolution and religion. She'll shed light on the potential impact of genetic entropy on the future of humanity. As we wrap up, we'll discuss the importance of supporting the Kolbe Center in its mission to promote the truth of creation. So, hold onto your seats and brace yourselves for an exhilarating ride through young Earth creationism, evolution, and everything in between.********************************************************https://www.avoidingbabylon.comLocals Community: https://avoidingbabylon.locals.comRSS Feed for Podcast Apps: https://feeds.buzzsprout.com/1987412.rssSpiritusTV: https://spiritustv.com/@avoidingbabylonRumble: https://rumble.com/c/c-1626455Odysee: https://odysee.com/@AvoidingBabylonBuzzsprout - Let's get your podcast launched!

Join us for a captivating session with our guest, Hugh Owen, founder of the Kolbe Center for the Study of Creation. Hugh takes us on a fascinating journey, unearthing the traditional teachings of the Catholic Church on creation, tracing back to the Catechism of Trent, and delving into St. Thomas' concept of the universe's first perfection. As we walk through this spiritual exploration, we unravel God's supernatural work of creation and the profound significance of the Sabbath.This episode also exposes the influence of 17th-century philosopher Descartes and how his philosophy of uniformitarian naturalism has shaped modern thought. We dissect how these ideas have fueled evolutionary thought, highlighting the objections raised by theologians of the time. Prepare to challenge conventional secular wisdom as we delve into Young Earth Creationism and the rejection of evolution, revealing fascinating evidence that suggests humans and dinosaurs shared the Earth. We also navigate the pivotal roles of Vatican Council I and II in shaping Catholic faith teachings and the repercussions of dismissing God's revelation about the world's creation. Discussing evolution's impact on our worldview, we delve into the traditional Catholic doctrine of creation and the absurdity of material processes creating complex coded information without intelligent involvement. So, buckle up, as we embark on this intellectual and spiritual odyssey with Hugh Owen!********************************************************https://www.avoidingbabylon.comLocals Community: https://avoidingbabylon.locals.comStore: https://avoiding-babylon.sellfy.store/RSS Feed for Podcast Apps: https://feeds.buzzsprout.com/1987412.rssSpiritusTV: https://spiritustv.com/@avoidingbabylonRumble: https://rumble.com/c/c-1626455Odysee: https://odysee.com/@AvoidingBabylonBuzzsprout - Let's get your podcast launched!

Today's Topics: 1-4) Interview with Hugh Owen - Director, Kolbe Center for the Study of Creation, from 2000 to the present. Writer and Editor, and an expert on the topic of explaining the traditional Catholic position on creation vs evolution.
“In the beginning God created heaven, and earth,” Genesis 1:1. The first words of the Bible, and the first two chapters of the Bible focus on God's creation of the Earth, its creatures, and of man himself. Yet, today many Catholic are rejecting the teaching of God's creation in favor of the idea that man evolved from molecules.Join John-Henry and Hugh Owen, the founder of the Kolbe Center for the Study of Creation as they discuss evolution and creation, and why Catholics must hold to Catholic dogma about creation.To dive even deeper into the scientific, philosophical, and theological basis supporting creation, get the new 17 part series from the Kolbe Center, Foundations Restored.

The first 2 Episodes are available for FREE, here! The Reviews Are In For Foundations Restored! As the devil strives to immerse and drown the world in darkness and confusion under the guise of science, and as he savagely launches his attacks on the pivotal doctrines of Holy Mother Church, the “Foundations Restored” DVD series casts a bright light which exposes and defeats the camouflaged lie of the Devil. The series offers logical, scientific, philosophical and theological arguments which not only restore the “Creation Providence” account to its proper place, but also liberate the whole realm of natural science from the grasp of its evolutionist hijackers. I therefore recommend the DVD series “Foundations Restored” without reservation for circulation in the public domain so as to combat error and to proclaim the reign of TRUTH. - Bishop Sanctus Lino Wanok, Bishop of the Diocese of Lira, Uganda About Hugh Owen Hugh Owen is the convert son of Sir David Owen, the first Secretary General of International Planned Parenthood Federation. After entering the Catholic Church as a freshman at Princeton University at the age of 18, Hugh served as a teacher, headmaster, and director of religious education for many years before becoming the director of the John Paul II Institute of Christian Spirituality and the founder and director of the Kolbe Center for the Study of Creation. The Kolbe Center provides a forum for Catholic theologians, philosophers and natural scientists who defend the traditional Catholic doctrine of creation as a much better explanation of all of the facts of Sacred Scripture, Sacred Tradition, Magisterial teaching and natural science than theistic evolution. Hugh and his wife Maria have been blessed with nine living children (two of whom are Benedictine sisters) and sixteen grandchildren (so far!) and live in the Shenandoah Valley in Virginia. Hugh is also a member of the newly-established John Paul II Academy for Human Life and the Family. What Is The Crusade Channel? The CRUSADE Channel, The Last LIVE!
