Dear Friends and Family of St. Michael Broadcasting,
We here reprint the 2012 article Evolution and the Catholic Faith by Fr. Kenneth Baker, S.J.
Evolution is a theory but not an established fact, because the origins of human life are not now observable,
since, according to the theory, life arose from inert matter millions or billions of years ago. If evolution were a fact,
it would be scientifically testable, but it is not testable.
In 1996, Pope John Paul II gave an address to the Pontifical Academy of Sciences in which he said that: “new
knowledge leads to the recognition of the theory of evolution as more than a hypothesis.” It is not altogether clear
what the Pope meant exactly by the comment to the scientists, who were meeting to discuss evolution and the
origin of man.
A scientific theory is composed of various hypotheses. Hypotheses and theories are working models, not
established fact. They are conditional, that is, if all the assumptions are correct, then the theory is valid until such
time as contrary evidence might show them to be false. Evolution is a theory in this sense: it is certainly not an
established fact, because the origins of human life are not now observable, since, according to the theory, life arose
from inert matter millions or billions of years ago. If evolution were a fact, it would be scientifically testable, but it
is not testable. So evolution is not scientific in the sense that certain results of the physical sciences are observable,
testable and, therefore, “scientific.” It is more correct to say, as many do today, that evolution is a philosophical
theory, or metaphysical “faith” in the idea that biological evolution took place.
John Paul II’s statement about evolution suggests that he was much more favorable towards the theory of
evolution than was his predecessor Pius XII, notably in his Encyclical Letter, Humani Generis (1950). If you wish
to compare the two popes on evolution, I strongly urge you to get a copy of Humani Generis and study it
carefully. Back in 1950, in a Letter that merits being called “prophetic,” Pius XII put his finger on most of the
problems that are plaguing the Church and the world today.
In his remarks to the scientists, John Paul II did not define a doctrine concerning faith or morals in that he did
not speak to the whole Church, but just to the Pontifical Academy of Sciences; he did not insist on his opinion,
again and again. Papal infallibility and the Ordinary Magisterium were not involved, so Catholics are not bound to
follow his opinion in this highly speculative area of science. If Pope John Paul II favored theistic evolution (which
seems to be implied in his words) as opposed to the direct creation of Adam from the dust of the earth, the
probability of his opinion on this scientific theory depends on the factual evidence that supports it.
An important book of evolution is Dr. Michael Behe’s Darwin’s Black Box: The Biochemical Challenge to
Evolution. The evidence adduced by Behe from biochemistry against evolution is very convincing and, in my
opinion, is a dagger in the heart of evolution—whether naturalistic or theistic.
Why did the major media in the United States give so much prominence to a minor statement of the Pope to a
few scientists? They twisted his words to give the impression that the Pope has endorsed evolution as they
understand it, namely: the material universe spontaneously produced the first form of life, from which all living
beings have developed, including man. This means that man is a part of nature and not directly created by God. It
results in a rejection of creation, the historical value of the Bible, Adam and Eve, the Fall and original sin, the need
for redemption, the Incarnation, the divinity of Christ, the Church and the sacraments. In short, it leads logically to
the denial of the Catholic faith. Obviously, that is not what the Pope meant.
Modern thinking in the social and physical sciences, in philosophy and theology, is shot through with atheistic
evolutionism. It is taught as a fact in public schools, as well as in most Catholic schools. Secular humanism,
communism and liberalism, are based on it. There is little hope for true human advancement, for the “civilization
of love,” as long as evolutionism, which diminishes man as made in the image of God, marches on unchallenged.
Thanks to Dr. Behe, and many other researchers, the days of evolutionism may be numbered.
Thank you Fr. Baker! Please continue to support your station through prayer, word-of-mouth, offering to
volunteer or a financial contribution. Blessed summer to you! Michael Bird, president and volunteer

For antenna info, visit: www.antennaweb.org, www.tvfool.com, www.solidsignal.com, or dennysantennaservice.com.
Is it possible to receive Channel 16 if you have cable? Yes! You may need these items:
Antenna (UHF) outdoor is better than indoor (cost: $5-$100 indoor, $45-$130 outdoor)
A-B Switch (cost: $5-$18), or (for satellite/broadcast reception) a satellite/antenna diplexer ($20 at Radio Shack).
RG-6 Coaxial cable 3’ -25’ (cost: $6-$30 depending on length).
Converter box, if you have an analog TV (Cost: $50-$60).
Indoor amp: e.g., Winegard HD A-0200, or Outdoor pre-amp: e.g., Winegard AP 8275, or AP 8700, or Winegard LNA 200.
Instructions for a digital TV:
Plug cable TV cable into one side of the A-B switch and the antenna coax cable into the other.
Connect the short coax cable (3’-6’) to “Out to TV” and plug other end of the coax cable into “Cable/Antenna IN” on the back
of TV. Make sure your cable channels work. If they don’t, flip the switch on the A-B switch. They should now work. After
they work, flip the A-B switch so that it is in the antenna reception mode. Next, go into MENU on channel changer. Go to
“external inputs” and click to “cable off,” or “antenna,” or “standard.” Then go to “Channels” and press “scan” or “auto
program. You should now be able to receive channel 16. To go back and forth between cable and antenna reception, go to
the MENU and switch between cable and antenna reception, and flip the switch on the A-B switch. Main point: If your A-B
switch is set to receive a cable signal, your TV must be set to receive a cable signal; if your A-B switch is set to receive an
antenna signal, your TV must be set to receive an antenna signal.
Instructions for an analog TV:
Plug cable TV cable into “A” side of A-B switch. Connect coax cable to “Out to TV” on the A-B switch. Plug other end of the
coax cable into “Cable/Antenna IN” on the back of TV. Make sure your cable channels work. If they don’t, flip the switch on
the A-B switch. Once cable is coming in, flip switch on the A-B switch. You should now receive no cable channels.
Plug antenna into converter box, and coax cable from output on the converter box into “B” side of A-B switch.
Set TV to Channel 3 and PUT THIS TV CHANNEL CHANGER/Remote ASIDE. Get channel changer for converter box. Go
to MENU and scan for channels. 16 should come in. To go back to cable reception, flip the A-B switch. When you want to go
back to antenna reception, set the channel to 3 using the TV channel changer, flip the A-B switch, and then control channels
using the converter box channel changer. Main point: If your A-B switch is set to receive a cable signal, your TV must be
set to receive a cable signal; If you’re a-B switch is set to receive an antenna signal, your TV must be set to the receive an
antenna signal mode.
Other helpful suggestions: Regarding antennas, outdoor is better than indoor. Higher up in the house, such as rooftop or
attic (even higher in a room), is usually better than lower (basement). We broadcast from the top of the IDS, so you want the
most unobstructed shot (e.g. near a window, no trees) between your antenna and the IDS that you can get. Stucco houses
(enclosed in wire mesh), thick or multiple walls and basements impair your ability to receive Channel 16. The best indoor
antenna we have found is the Antennas Direct Clearstream C2V cost $77.00 through Solid Signal.com, or $99.00 at Best
Buy or Wal-Mart. Cost of the base, through Solid Signal is an additional $15.00. You may need to buy a short length of RG-6
coax cable at the same time. SolidSignal.com has good prices and online antenna advice. Another possibility is the
Winegard FV HD-30 available at ShopJimmy.com 651-251-5700, 2300 West Highway 13, Burnsville, MN 55337, cost $40.00.
We found many of the above listed components at Radio Shack, Best Buy and Wal-Mart, though Wal-Mart doesn’t have A-B
switches. Possibly check the Yellow Pages under Television-Service & Parts for a smaller retailer near you. We are told
Plaza TV, East Lake TV and Golden Valley TV might have these components, but there are many others. A good outdoor
antenna is the Winegard HD 7697. For outdoor antenna sales and installation locally, you might call: for west metro,

Faribault: De Grood TV: 507-332-7495. We are not recommending these businesses; we just know they sell and install.
Instructions for an older (analog) TV with no cable:
You need an antenna (see “Other helpful suggestions” above) and a converter box. Aim your antenna at the IDS. Set TV to
channel 3. Put that channel changer aside. Using the converter box channel changer, go to the menu and scan for channels.
