@ Yaakovaryeh: While verifiable, the claim you have introduced is one-sided, see e.g.
Often students in Ayala’s introductory biology class tell him that they will answer test questions as he wishes, but in truth they reject evolution because of their Christian beliefs. Then, a couple of years later, when they have learned more science, they decide to abandon their religion. The two, students seem to think, are incompatible. That saddens him, Ayala says. Instead he would like believers to reconcile their faith with science. Drawing on five years of study in preparation for ordination as a Dominican priest, Ayala uses evolution to help answer a central paradox of Christianity—namely, how can a loving, all-knowing God allow evil and suffering?

Quoted by Tgeorgescu ( talk) 23:31, 4 April 2018 (UTC)
Implications: he does not say if he is still a believer, but he is clearly a theologian and he is saddened by Christians who lose their faith. These being said, theology is a realm of scholarship like any other and it is not written in the stars that theologians are believers. Also, he might be saddened because he considers petty to lose one's faith over evolution theory (he argues that science and religion are fully compatible).

No detail has been released about the charges against Ayala. We know he was found guilty, but we don't know WHAT he was found guilty of or what the evidence was. I think this was worth noting so I added the sentence "Details of the charges were never made public, and a number of scholars have expressed skepticism regarding the fairness of the investigation." This is supported by the New York Times article I linked. The sentence added by CPMenroute was way too strong IMO. My edit was accurate and correct supported by newspaper links - the facts speak for themselves - how can the truth be too strong!? TarenJean ( talk) 01:54, 26 July 2018 (UTC)
Is he still a catholic now? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 92.255.2.250 ( talk) 16:35, 4 February 2020 (UTC)
He is still listed as a fellow of the AAAS in their member directory. I believe the assertion that AAAS removed his fellow status is false. Mvitulli ( talk)
Should Ayala be added to the category "Theistic evolutionists"? YTKJ ( talk) 18:41, 6 April 2022 (UTC)
