"Let There Be Light!"

I've always been fascinated by the Big Bang Theory of the origin of the universe and life itself. Can you imagine anything more fitting than the Word saying "Light" and the incredible explosion of creation? My brother was a physicist and he got hung up on the fact that the sun wasn't created until the fourth day. But really, the universe is filled with light; the sun wasn't the only heavenly body of fire. 

It's a Bulls Eye for the Rosetta Program!

Wow, the Rosetta program has captured the attention of the world as well it should. Think of trying to hit a bulls eye on a target a mile away with a high-powered rifle. Then imagine trying to hit a target 311 MILLION miles away. That is the accomplishment of the Rosetta Philae program that landed a refrigerator-sized probe on a small comet. What an amazing feat!

Think of what our scientists could accomplish if they all worked conforming their goals to the will of God. What a thought!

And if you want to reflect on the contributions of Catholic scientists who were also priests and monks visit here for an impressive list. There is absolutely no conflict between faith and science.
