"Christianity is not at war with science:

"Truth cannot war with itself."

And so, this morning:

A Grad student in Physics has a question for Father Vincent Serpa.

From the Catholic magazine This Rock.

July / August 2011.


Question:

"I am a graduate student in physics, and since I was a kid have loved everything having to do with the universe. At times I find it difficult to reconcile my faith with my studies. Studying black holes, supernovas, etc: How does this glorify God and help other people?"

Father Serpa's answer:

"Learning the truth about God's creation is not a waste. It contributes to everyone's knowledge. Christianity is not at war with science: Truth cannot war with itself. Many of the greatest scientists were Catholic, and many of those were priests. Catholics, after all, came up with the scientific method! By all means, using your talent for science can both glorify God and help other people..."
