Dear Gabe, *--There is no conflict between Theories of Evolution and the dogma of Creation. The dogma of Creation is not scientific hypothesis, but a theological statement. We have studied both. There is no problem for us neither for Faith nor for Reason.
Abbe Georges Lemaitre (1894-1966), a Belgian astronomer, proposed in 1931 the theory of explosion, later on called "Big Bang Theory", namely that the Universe was "created" by a massive explosion. This xpansion was started by Something/Someone. The Universe started with one simple particle, the "space particle". When radioactive elements mixed with the particle, they started a chain reaction that forced the immediate and rapid expansion of the Universe and also "created" life. Furthermore, as repulsion forces came into effect, expansion became dominant, and from that time (about 9 billion years ago), galaxies began to separate. The important point in his theory is the assumption that Something actually started it. It was this assumption that gave birth to the "Big Bang" Theory. Ivo da C.Souza
