INTRO

The Catholic Church uses both the biblical account and the scientific theory of creation. The Church teaches that the Genesis account is to be interpreted alongside science. Science may be able to give the answer and explanation of how the world and universe was created. Historically, the Catholic Church has been a patron of sciences as Catholics believe that God created humans to have a relationship with them. Catholics believe God love them and call them to an understanding of their role in his creation. This understanding will lead those made in his own image to carry on look after and even make the whole planet a better place "on Earth as it is in Heaven".

In this topic we will reflect on the Words in Ephesian 2:10: " We are his workmanship"
