Dante’s embryo
In the 1300’s Dante wrote The Devine Comedy. In Pergatorio, Canto XXV, he describes the development of an embryo. In so doing, he illustrates how a Christian may accept as fact the “science” of his day, and then import it into their theology, even when it contradicts Scripture. This is a prime example of what occurs all too often in our own day as Christians accept evolution without investigation.
