The question of how to relate the theology of creation and the theory of evolution has often been approached with suspicion and misunderstanding. Studying the Creator's way of acting in the course of time, the A. accepts God's respect for the rules he instituted in creating the universe. A correct understanding of the biblical texts, of the concepts proper to science and of those used in theology enables us to realise how the theory of evolution, far from contradicting the theology of creation, invites us to find the real meaning of the notion of Providence.
