Knowledge of main dogmatic issure regarding creation, grace, fall and eschatology

Compact representation of the dogmatic truths of the important problems and tensions of the present world (progress and feasibility mentality versus apocalyptic fears of the end of the world or displacement of the fears in a consumer mentality). Can the Church dogma dominate the cultural consciousness of the present yet? These range from the creation of the world (cf. the debate over evolution) and the sin of the world to the perfection of humanity with God ("heaven").
