St. Thomas would have been an evolutionary psychologist?


More on the Huffington Post, so sophisticated body of theological analysis, Matt Rossano supports:

If he were alive today St. Thomas Aquinas is an evolutionary? His writings suggest a spirit already echoing with many evolutionary concepts.My feeling is that Thomas Aquinas, as Aristotle and Albert before him, was simply too curious and intelligent too not be intellectual struggle with exciting new connaissances.Boiteuse behind poorly with the whiny creationists without imagination would have been too boring for a spirit as his.

In fact, Rossano actually tries to marshal St. Thomas less plausible part of Darwinian program - evolutionay psychology.

Rossano finds some simlarities between the thought of Thomas' and ideas psychology évolutionniste.Mais two schools of thought have something in commun.Sur a thorough inspection, however, it appears that the argument of Rossano is something as follows:

Saint-Thomas was really smart and up to date within the period of time.

Really smart people in the 21st century believe in Darwinism Pan.

Therefore, if St. Thomas were alive today, it would be a good dissemination.

But as pledge of Logan argues in his chapter in God and evolution, Thomas was an essentialiste.Et essentialism as many evolutionary psychology that you can get.

Two good reviews the argument of Rossano, see Vincent Torley response to Rossano Uncommon descent, and response in the comments to Joe Carter things first.
