Summary

Today I sit down with Dominican priest Fr. Nicancor Austriaco to discuss evolution, genesis and Adam and Eve.

Welcome to Points with the Quinus, my name is Matt Fred.

0:03.4

So if you could sit down over a pint of beer, right, with Thomas Aquinas,

0:07.4

and if you could ask him any question, what would it be?

0:11.3

Today we're going to try and get three or four questions in.
