Science Points to God - Bishop Barron's Sunday Sermon
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 4 фев 2025
- Friends, we’re all familiar with the story of the three wise men, which has been depicted in thousands of Christmas cards. And there is something romantic and charming about it. But on this great Feast of the Epiphany, I want to develop an important angle of the story very much on the minds of many people today-namely, the whole problem of religion and science.

Before I converted to Catholicism I was a Protestant young earther. But as I earned my degree in Biology at Hillsdale College, it became progressively clear the evidence for evolutionary theory is overwhelming and pervasive across the natural world. Instead of disaffiliating, because science cannot explain the first cause and meaning of the universe, I held both as true, and rather looked for fault in my own interpretation of scripture that made my belief in God incompatible with science. This search was part of what lead me to the Catholic Church. Thank you Benedict XVI for your magnificent “In The Beginning…” homilies and my Christian professors whose example showed me it is not a mutually exclusive dichotomy! Now I teach AP Biology at a high school and am a devout Catholic!
Good for you to that you persisted in searching for the truth. I’ll check out the homilies you mentioned. Thanks
Evolution theory makes so little sense though, I'm not sure how it became more clear rather than muddied. That's what happened when I looked into it. Same with the Big Bang Theory.
Evolution and the Big Bang theory run into serious problems since they are in violation of the second law of thermodynamics which states entropy always increases in a system causing order to become chaos. The cell is so complex full of so much information via dna how it could have formed from precursors chemicals seems impossible. The Big Bang theory is seriously flawed since unmeasured and in observable dark energy and dark matter account for 95% of the universe necessary mathematically to explain the remaining 5% to make the theory work.
Amazing Truth , And Absolutely there was A Reason For Pope Benedict , so Intelligent. God Bless you for reaching and searching for Truth 🙏🏻. Love it ❤
@@DoubleOhSilver If you’re interested in understanding evolutionary theory, I’d recommend reading the work of RA Fischer and JBS Haldane, then Theodosius Dobzhansky, and finally George Williams! Don’t rely on popularized understandings of evolutionary theory, it’s plagued by skewed and mythical misrepresentations of what genuine biologists theorize in actuality. Can’t speak to the Big Bang Theory though, because I lack an education in astro-physics. I’d also recommend reading CS Lewis’ essay on The Funeral of a Great Myth from Christian Reflections!
I am a practicing catholic and trained paleontologist. I always found that faith and science have never been at odds. Only our interpretation. As a teenager reading Aquinas's thoughts on this only strengthened my faith and threw me further into the fossil record and left me with a beautiful picture of God's work. I am in awe everyday... thank you for posting this.
Now to just get Aquinas back in the overall school system!
I agree! If our education of the young focused more on the lives of these great minds, on saints and converts to Christianity , beginning with St. Paul, how much richer our young minds would grow in their search for The Truth!!
Oh, yes! I'm certainly not schooled in paleontology, but I couldn't agree with you more!
Your probably one of the few in your field that is religious
@@billcetta3107 Maybe. I was scared to talk faith in the lab as a student on my first day because there were many atheist or openly pagan instructors, but my first week on that campus I was shocked to find many of my lab mates at mass that evening....Some of the best dinosaur hunters I know of...
Neurosurgeon in training here. The more I know the secrets of the human brain and its ability to heal, the closer I feel to God and understand He is in control of everything! Praised be the Lord ❤
Have you come across Iain McGilchrist or any of his writings ?
Yey!
@@tomgreene1843 Not until now... Very interesting, thanks for the recommendation. One of my favorites is the mathematician John Lennox.
Thank you for your words - I needed to hear this
God does not exist. This has been proven. A neuorosurgeon in training should know this.
I am an Electrical Design Engineer for Nuclear Medicine and Nuclear Sterilization. For many years I am the only designer of the only company in the world. I am retired now. As a designer I used all the scientific disciplines physics, mathematics, arts, chemical, mechanical, electrical, civil etc. to solve problems. The more I know the more I am devoted to God. I am at awe to his creation. I came to a conclusion that I exist because God exists. That is all the evidence I need.
I have heard this but never found it to be true. Science is one of the things we learn, where Religion is something We Live. My Catholic Faith is my Eternal Treasure anything else is secondary.
God does not exist. This has been proven. A person with your background and training should know this.
Agreed. I am an Engineer, Strategy and Innovation Consultant for 30 years. Creative problem-solving and optimizing human and organisation performance.
However, when God moves in any situation it is awesome beauty to behold. How incredible He invites us to participate.
Would love to chat more with you.
@@jesusacantos s o very true! I love my Faith and Respect Science as well.
@@charisserodriguez1605 But God does not move since God does not exist. This has been proven.
"Think of the Magi. They came to Christ not despite science. They came to Christ precisely through their science." *- Bishop Robert Barron*
Because of a rare "celestial" sign or anomoly in the sky. The Magi clearly possesed knowledge like no others at the time. Who or how many possess this knowledge today?
that should be on a tshirt. happy new year bishop barron! happy 25 years word on fire! light the world up! 🔥🔥🔥
The Magi had no science.
When I was in college and studying biotechnology I came to the logical conclusion that God has to be real. The fact of the matter is, when you study life at such a small level you cannot deny the existence of intelligent design. The Creator left his thumbprint on His handiwork.
The longest word ever written, the human DNA, was not written by us. That's the one that gets me.
@@DJ-yj1vg Its crazy. Its hard not to look at the just the single process of transcription, that happens thousands of times a second in every cell of our body, and not be so struck with awe that the reality of God becomes immediately apparent to you. I know it did for me!
Of course you can deny it. God does not exist. This has now been proven.
@@whittfamily1 I'm sorry that your opinion is contrary to the experience of people who have studied more diligently than you have.
There is no for or against the Existence of God. There ae strong inferences for His existence, due to the rationality of the universe -- specific examples were given in this thread.
@@susand3668 S2: I'm sorry that your opinion is contrary to the experience of people who have studied more diligently than you have.
GW2: You don’t know that other people have studied this topic more than I have. You are just speculating about that. I doubt that it is true. I’ve been studying this topic for 70 years. How many years have you been studying it?
S2: There is no for or against the Existence of God.
GW2: Susan, that is flat out false! There are many proofs that God does not exist. I would be happy to share one of mine with you, if you like and if you would agree to provide feedback on it.
S2: There ae strong inferences for His existence,...
GW2: False. There is weak evidence for the existence of God, insufficient for belief or knowledge.
S2: due to the rationality of the universe -- specific examples were given in this thread.
GW2: False again! The universe is not rational because it is not a person. Some of us human persons are rational, and because of that we can partly understand the orderliness in the universe. God is not part of that order. We have proven that God does not exist.
As an orthopedic surgeon, I have long thought that the extraordinary human knee joint is proof of the existence of, not only an intelligent, but also a good God
Based on what?
Proud to be a young family of 6 that converted to Catholicism this year. My OCIA class has another couple with a family of 6. That's 12 new Catholics just between our families
Welcome
Welcome brother!!!
Welcome home to you and your family!! And to the other family too!! Praises be! That makes me so joyful to hear!! 💕✝️🙏🏻🕊️
Blessed be God.
Welcome family
That’s wonderful congrats I do OCIA and I’m very excited this coming Easter vigil well have 5 new people making a sacrament 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
I remember when I was in university and I was struggling with a lot of different things. I was foolish enough to believe that science and religion were in conflict, until I took a history class. It was the History of Science, Religion and Magic in the 16th century. Our final paper was where we had to choose two of the three and decide whether they were in conflict or whether they worked together. I picked Science and Religion and I was hell bent on showing they were in conflict. Every time I tried though, I kept running into proof that Science does not exist without Religion. They are in fact united. I remember reading some of Galileo’s evidence and he explained things like this “Science explains HOW things happen. Religion explains WHY things happen.”
Thank the Lord for that history class. It brought me back to the beginning. It brought me back to God!🙏🏼✝️
Amen! You game me a smile as you related your experience. To God be the glory!
Science is indifferent but creatures are not! And the Divine is of yet another order. As our eyes and ears bring in a world of color and sound from mere frequencies tapping at our organs, our minds can with help grow in wholeness, meaning, love, Christ
Love this! Have you considered the interrelationship between magic & the other two since? Cause I find that fascinating - to fit it into Galileo's framework, I'd say magic is when we can't figure out the HOW quite yet.
I am a physicist and a practicing Catholic. Bishop Barron is speaking of a great truth. I couldn't have expressed it more beautifully. As Catholics, we are fortunate to have deep intellectual traditions within our faith. We are fortunate to have thinkers such as Bishop Barron reminding us of the deep truth of reality.
Religions make you ignore your knowledge of physics, doesn't it? But only when it comes to God. That's definitionally special pleading. How do you decide when something needs to be further studied and when it's just "God did it"?
Thank you Bishop. As a PhD physicist and practicing Catholic who, in my younger years, once left the church (when I was consumed by scientism), but who ultimately (and thankfully) came to appreciate the products of His infinite imagination the more I learned about His creation (and the more I came to appreciate the points you so eloquently cite), I genuinely appreciate your bringing to light these indispensable insights to a broader audience.
Everyone who cares to better appreciate the mystery the Bishop citing should read Wigner's impactful essay. And yes, science could only have emerged via a Christian metaphysics.
Physical laws are evidence of the immutability of God, not of naturalism.
Awesome! Thank you for this!! ❤🙏🏻✝️
can you elaborate the last statement? im a young man trying to understand, thank you
The great scientist Albert Einstein was not an atheist. He believed that there was an intelligence underlying the universe because of the harmony and mathematical laws that underpin physical existence - though he didn’t believe in a personal God or subscribe to an organised religion.

Science is the study of God’s blueprints for the universe. ✝️
I’ve said this before and been shunned. I agree!! Humans writing down Gods creations…science is mapping God
Very well said.. I agree

But God does not exist. This has been proven.
So right Bishop! By studying the sciences, we learn that the world is intelligible. In my 45 years of studying and working in molecular biology in the medical arena, I have found that the deeper I delved into the multitude of areas in this field, the more it has pointed me to God. I have always had a very strong faith in God, and I have enjoyed developing both of these aspects of my life together.
Wish to comprehend how (Transhumanism) Bio-Digital Convergence; deployed for over 30 years and being perfected at this time with global experimentation without any consent, is anything of God.
It is definitely a factual THEFT OF GOD'S CREATION BY SATAN/LUCIFER developed by Demon Worshiping Power/Control Atheists believing themselves God wishing for Global Slavery, Genocide, Sterilization, Disability.
Not angry...Just wishing to comprehend the reasoning with this issue.
Faith doesn't count. Reason counts. God does not exist. This has been proven.
Proven by whom?@@whittfamily1
@whittfamily1 In science, a theory can never be proven...only disproven as newer information is discovered.
@@tjnkorz8408 "God exists" has been disproven by arguments using philosophy, science, and history in combination. In any discipline, including science, claims can be proven or disproven, supported or undermined. The claim that God exists has been disproven. Perhaps, you are not using the most common definition of "proof."
The Shroud of Turin is the perfect blend of science and faith
And was thoroughly shown to be too late to be Jesus' shroud once science got to it ..
@chelseafolk Actually, that is inaccurate based on the latest x-ray technology that dated the Shroud to the time of Christ.
@@chelseafolkactually it was dated to be reasonably around the time of Jesus.
Thanks Bishop Barron. I am a Argentine physicist that has worked for the last 40 years in climatology, climate dynamics and the relationship with environmental issues. I fully agree with you: math is the language of sciences. It also is the language through which we can understand, as yet imperfectly, the action of the Logos, in nature. The biosphere is a wonderful mirror of the Almighty God, since in it life literallly brings forth life, life sustains life: nature bears the imprint of God or rather the immanence of God as Franciscans say.
Very well put. Please tell us that you are writing a book. By God, if a man so utterly stupid as Sam Harris is going to write books, the world needs someone like you, who actually knows of what he speaks, and can do so in such coherent fashion, to write something in reply for a generation starving for genuine insight.
Beautifully said sir
How beautiful!
Do you think Catholics or people of faith- could band together and affirm faith and science large? Also could they work together?! Bishop Barron is drawing out stimulating vibrant folks that could pull the nones from their phones and into authentic life.
@@user-gv6xn9cs3b yes i think they should. Im relatively new to being Christian, but ive always been on the borders of religion. Science, mysticism, comparative religion, spirituality, every thing around religion, without practicing.
Now that i have really become a faithful Christian, im realizing that religious conversations dont really reach outside of religious circles the way they should.
Christian theology is so deep and rich, but it must not be concerned with evangelism. The most active evangelism comes from the most hollow forms of Christianity, like the Prosperity Gospel Televangelists, and also the scandels from the Catholic church are god awful.
I hope the true message can be spread and Christians across the world reunited
My beloved brother who has passed would have loved this sermon. He was a devoted mathematician who also believed strongly in God. Your sermons just get better and better all the time. Thank you Bishop!
It was science, while I was studying biochemistry, that gave me an ‘Aha’ moment that there must be God, when I was an undergraduate. This sermon helped to unpack and put into words that insight.
Ah, yes. Been there . . . thought that!
Thank you Bishop Barron for driving this point further, because many of us who are not affected by propaganda and study science in college get closer to God the more we study it. God's presence is perfectly clear when one studies science and math with a truthful mind and heart. Those who cannot see Him in everything are either blind, misled, or telling lies. Trained in Chemistry and imperfectly following Jesus in my life here 😊.
Great video, Bishop Baron! This is exactly the reason I came back to Catholic faith. As a dual engineering major, who studied differential equations, and lots of programming languages, I am thoroughly convinced that God uses math to program the universe, and the Big Bang was his compiler.
What dose faith in God bring you as a programmer ?
@@BluffAlice You need faith in order to be a successful programmer and to debug code 😂
I found my way back to Lord Jesus and Our Father through optics and quantum physics 😊
The very first time I heard this argument was in 2003, from Stephen C Meyer, the father of the Intelligent Design Theory. It resonated well with my own thinking. When I made the decision to join the Catholic Church in 2008, I was fully consumed by the idea of the Intelligent Design, emotionally attached to the Catholic Church, motivated by my experience of miracles, and encouraged by knowing that one of my relatives converted long ago and was baptized. Science, math, physics, biology, in fact, is still a cornerstone of my belief in the supreme power of God the way our Catholic faith has it.
What a powerful sermon. May it be heard by all those who need to hear it. May God continue to give Bishop Barron His perfect wisdom.!
At the end of my career I was teaching AP (college-level) chemistry in a Catholic school. What you see and hear in this homily is essentially what I covered in the first lesson of semester 1. Blessed be God for the Divine Order that allowed us to understand the laws behind that science!
I have no idea how anyone who views the world through an investigative lens would assume this is just here for no reason. I cannot fathom how much mental gymnastics it takes to do that and not instead ask: what kind of mind did this awe-inspiring beauty come from? I’m trained in Chemistry. From day one I was amazed by how everything worked together. That continues more and more to this day. God bless you all.
Jesus grant me strength. I seem to bear the weight of the world on my shoulders as a single mom, I often face challenges that can seem insurmountable especially with raising two children with special needs. I’m trying to balance everything but Lord I’m struggling to make ends meet, to pay bills, and to put food on the table for my children. Jesus hear my prayers.❤️💕
May the good lord answer your prayer.
Amen. May you see how God is carrying you and strengthening you and providing for you during this time of trial!
I encourage you to let go of that weight & let God carry it, since that's what he's there for... Afterall, he's carrying you, thus he's already bearing that weight on your shoulders too - just give it over fully to him! ( Easier said that done, I am still practicing this myself~)
To God be the Glory, great things He has done!
Bishop Barron, my 9th grade science teacher at a public junior high school in Miami, Mr. Dunn, once remarked, during our Space Science class, “The more I learn about science, the more convinced I am in the existence of a divine creator.” It was such a powerful (and, for a public school teacher, unusual) statement that I can vividly remember it 51 years later even though I can’t specifically recall anything else he taught us. Thanks for sharing similar thoughts with us (as well as profoundly true words from one of my favorite psalms) in your Sunday homily!
Great homily! I was a research scientist studying paper science for my entire career. The more I learned of the amazing complexity of something as simple as a wood fiber, the more I was confident in or Creator. It seemed impossible that something this complicated just occurred randomly - and that’s just a wood fiber.
Thank you Bishop Barron! I like the last phrase: "They came to Christ not despite the science. They came to Christ precisely through their science."
I'm a chemistry PhD student and a practicing cradle catholic. I always see God in all I do. Its impossible not to. In fact, my studies have brought closer to my faith.
Beautifully put. I left the church in my young adult years. I had just spent 5 yrs in prison and I could not make what I had witnessed coincide with a loving God. It’s taken me years to return, but here I am. Thomas Merton, FR Richard Rohr and you good sir have led me back to a point to where Christ now leads me. Thank you!
Praise the Lord. May God continue to show you his glory. Amen🙏🏻
Beautiful!
GOD was confirmed to me when I first did Chemistry & Biochemistry at university. The Designer is seen through the design, the Creator illuminated through His creation. Deus Vult.
Thank you, your Excellency, Bishop Barron. That is why modern science could have only been birthed out of a Christian tradition.
Looking deeper into science is looking deeper into the eye of God.
Thank you for this powerful and truthful message 🌷🌹
I've not yet met an atheist who was convinced of the existence of God by science / reason. This is why Faith is a cardinal virtue. You have free will, you can believe or not. It takes effort, but once you believe the mysteries of the universe and boundless love of your fellow man open up to you, fwiw.
As 21 year old Psychology student, but, first of all, as a Christian, there are no words or likes that will express how much I'm grateful to have met Bishop Barron last year in a moment when I was almost losing my Faith in God. Perfect preaching!
Love science
Love God
Completly compatible
Amen 🙏🏻 thank you. This is great. I showed a short documentary to my students in God and mathematics. Eugene Wigner was referenced. This helped to bring religion, math and science together for them.
biology degree here, studying science definitely strengthened my faith
Brilliant, Bishop Barron. In addition to the study of science , there could have been no Mozart or Beethoven without this intellible harmony.
The science of the magi led them directly to Christ. Amen!
Amen!
Science is a way mankind explains how the things God created works.
Not a juxtaposition, but a way of explaining God's glory in the physical world.
Very well said … I agree totally
What a beautiful and powerful message, Bishop B. Very inspiring, especially in today’s world 🌎, where the stars ⭐️ still shine. God bless you, JV Johnny ⚾️⚾️ 👟 😵

It was through my understanding quantum physics that I was able to better comprehend the Holy Trinity. In his early days of teaching at the university level, Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger taught that the physics of wave/partical actions were an accurate parable for God...matter and energy are the same: Wow.
Thank you, God Bless Bishop Barron. Love youe Preaching Style in awesome!!! Its a Gift 🙏🏻😊
Bishop, I love to listen to you, not because I am a great mind, not because I am a scientist or a math person, but because I am not and you make sense to me now in my almost 80th year. But I remember not being interested in learning more about my faith, or not having the time or the discipline to do so. I think young people have too many distractions, too many interests (sports, etc.) supported by their parents who think they are doing the right things by getting them involved, keeping them out of trouble. For kids to even ponder the why of it all is not interesting to them, now. Maybe later and I hope later is not too late. I PRAY for my own grandkids today so that in the future they will WANT to know more about God and will ask themselves WHY.
Some every powerful testimonys, thank you all for witnessing to the truth. God bless.
I fully agree with your idea. We Catholics tend to be timid about our faith and very rarely ready to testimony about our life and faith experience. We do need a Lot of testimony from catholic scientists in order to dispel the lie of sciences against religión, religion against sciences. I am glad so many of us hace come forth to share their experience thanks to Bishop Barron's strong sermon. We need a strong link between sciences and faith to meet the challenges society currently faces: abortion and euthanasia, global environmental crisis, the challenges and risks of AI, the design of more humane económicos, etc
Thank you! Christ give me strength & wisdom, to overcome my weakness, distractions, addictions and do my best for this year without excuses 🙏🏼
Science is a consequence of religious beliefs - as Bishop Barron so beautifully explained. The conclusion follows - faith is above reason and laboratory experiments.
Keep helping us Bishop Barron understand the greatness of God who is a great mathematician. Now I have something to ponder as I look at the world.
Dear Your Grace, I have always enjoyed your great homilies and words of wisdom. The profound philosophical stance of your presentation invites every listener to a deepen meditation and desire to enhance the personal theological and philosophical knowledge. God bless you!
This is one of the paths that led me back to God a little at a time.
Thank you Bishop for your magistral reflection in the topic of science and faith. They are not opposite to each other but rather compatible.
One thing I learned about statistics: numbers can't answer the greatest question, which is "Why?"
L.E.E., or "Lived Experience Education" has to be included in the gathering of statistics. That means those who are willing to speak their traumas, dramas, joys, etc. both interior of the confessional and exterior of the confessional helps to answer the "Great Why," and still -- only God can calm the soul when we meet Him when we die. That's what I got out of this homily, this morning, Bishop Barron. Thank you very much for integration of Psychology and Theology in your education of we the learners. God bless you! ❤❤❤
How much more real can it get?! Thank you, God. Amen ❤️
Wonderful lecture(?)
Wish I had heard it 20 years ago, but better late than never 😊 🙏🏻
Science is just the way we understand God's work.
Amazing, I love Bishop Barron!
How thoughtful of God to arrange matters so that, wherever you happen to be born, the local religion always turns out to be the true one.

Thank you. Bishop Barron ✝️🕊️🙏🇺🇸
This homily just makes my hear expand to receive, as much as I can, the truth about God. And I worship Him more because He is the cause of all things, visible and invisible, scientific or otherwise. God is the prime cause of all things, including our lives, whether we believe or not. Thank you Bp. Barron.
Oh wow! All the scientists came out with their knowledge and expertise. Although I was an engineer before moving to the medical profession when it comes to religion I just believe. I’m in awe of God’s creation. I admire them. I love to see the stars on a dark night and make sure to go out and watch the full moon. I love the sunrise and the sunset. Most of the time I can see the sun rising on my drive to work and say a little prayer. Thank you Lord for the beautiful Sun and another beautiful day!
The Lord Jesus is the WAY, the TRUTH and the LIFE. God be praised forever.
This topic has been central to my faith journey for around 40 years and I thank you for keeping it alight. In college years, I wrestled with evolution vs. the literal interpretation of Genesis which led me to a form of "scientism." Life and grace ultimately led me back to a more nuanced approach consistent with the Catholic approach to Biblical interpretation and allowance for evolution in Church teaching. Like many things in life, it's about utilizing both-and thinking over either-or thinking, not in order to be relativistic, but to be better able to let more light in.
"...Great are the works of God; studied by all who delight in them...." Psalm 111:2
“They came to God through science” ❤❤❤
Science and God ARE NOT FIGHTED between each other. I say this as an engineer. You can proudly be a man of God and a scientist; amazing video, Bishop.
I love Bishop Barron!
What a brilliant message to share with my agnostic friends!
I love this study, and have greatly enjoyed Fr. Robert Spitzer's books about the intersection of faith and reason, and science. His proofs for God in physics always stays with me. Also science has only identified roughly 15% of the composition of all matter in the universe. We can only say the other 85% components are dark matter and dark energy. All of science cannot understand. I like to think that this undefined energy is God and the undefined matter is His clay. Also I love expedition Bible on YT for modern archaeology's proof for Bible history.💖
Hello, lots of believers here without faith. Jesus himself faced persecution and taught His followers to love their enemies and pray for those who persecute them. Good Lock year 2025🤝🏼. Our Lady of Lourdes, pray for us.

Thank you, Bishop Barron, for bridging in your homily science and religion. Faith is never against reason but above reason. When God asks me to believe, He does not want me to be unreasonable but to go beyond reason. Faith seeks understanding. (Fr. Alex 81 year old priest in Mumbai)
Amen
Holy Spirit bless us all!! Wishing everyone a blessed happy Monday!
Praise the Lord ❤❤❤
Science is like the DNA of Gods Word. Great sermon
Thank you, Bishop Barron, for another great video. Your wisdom on this matter recalls to mind the work of the great historian of science, Father Stanley Jaki.
In his great Gifford Lecture Series of 1975 Father Jaki traced the Road of Science and the Ways to God.
If interested in the long history of the relationship between science and religion, I strongly urge my fellow Christians to get their hands on Father Jaki’s works.
The Lord be with you all.
Amen🙏....very insightful
i'm 24 and i love to go to the church every week
This was excellent, Bishop Barron‼️Thank you.
Finally, we acknowledge that God is the author of science.
Thank you. Some people think that God wants the dark ages again.
My love of math and rudimentary understanding of a “platonic other realm” suggested by the laws of math led me to the church and with a little bit of vulnerability and courage to the truth that is Jesus Christ
Brilliant, thanks Bishop Barron🤍
This is so great. Thank you Bishop.
BRILLIANT!!
The comments for this video are so inciteful especially from those of you with a science background I thank you all for comments they are really meaningful and impactful as I always use to struggled with this topic of science vs religion .
Hello, lots of believers here don't have faith. Romans 12: 19-21 which read "Beloved, never avenge yourselves, but leave it to the wrath of God, for it is written, vengeance is mine, I will repay, says the Lord." 😜Our Lady of Lourdes, pray for us.
St. Joseph, pray for us.
St. Augustine, pray for us.

I love this. Science itself is evidence of the eternal, infinite, and intelligent Mind.
Wonderful, wonderful!!

Thanks be to God for the brilliant insights Bishop Barron shares. God reveals His wonders in the Heavens and the Earth. Science is a means by which we can draw closer to Him as we come to understand those wonders. I'm intrigued by the idea that the Magi are "natural theologians" who use science to deepen their relationship with God. Happy Epiphany! Merry Christmas! Happy New Year 2025!
