I am a believing Catholic. Why can’t we just accept that the universe “is” and get on with understanding it as best we can. I do not read the Bible to understand thermodyanmics nor do I read a science book to understand salvation. The Big Bang theory was posited by an astrophysicist who was also a Catholic priest. If he saw no conflict between his scientific life and his faith life, I won’t either.
I like this quote: “Science gives us knowledge, and religion gives us meaning. Both are prerequisites of the decent existence.” It is from Michael Heller, a cosmologist and Catholic priest from Poland, on occasion of winning the Templeton Prize this year.
