Thanksgiving Sunday
Reflection on Science Week
In the 1980’s the head of North American Space Administration (NASA) gave a speech in New York in which he spoke about the space program that at the time was languishing a bit and needed to be re-invigorated with funds. In the speech he described the space program by comparing it to climbing mountains. He said.” We have scaled the highest mountains and when we reached the summit of the highest peak (the moon landing) what did we find there but a bunch of theologians who has been sitting there for centuries . . . in the beginning, God.” This man of science was acknowledging that religion and science are not mutually exclusive and it’s possible to be both scientific and religious. Pope John Paul 11 said that science addresses the question of ‘How’ and religion addresses the question of ‘Why’. We should have a positive interactive relationship where one is open to the insights of the other.
