Read more... Nicolas Copernicus: Founder of Modern Astronomy - Rev. Martin S. BrennanNicolas Copernicus (1473-1543), the founder of modern astronomy, was destined to become, through the publication of his heliocentric theory, one of the seminal figures in the history of scientific thought. Read more... Nicolaus Copernicus - Father George William RutlerFather Copernicus seems to have been so self-effacing that he was not considered well-known enough for a marked grave. He did not change the world as Christ did, but he changed the way the world is understood. Read more... Obama is no champion of science - Father Raymond de SouzaThe scientists were jubilant, as men are when dividing the spoils. Read more... Prophet of Pointlessness—book review - STEPHEN M. BARRRichard Dawkins has been accused of spreading a cold and joyless message, a pessimistic nihilism and his latest book, Unweaving the Rainbow: Science, Delusion, and the Appetite for Wonder, was written in response to these charges.

BarrThe claims of scientific materialism have not changed substantially in over a hundred years. And yet much else has changed in that time.

The loss of the space shuttle is a major science story, but it was lived here as a spiritual trial. Science and faith were not enemies by those who flew Columbia. Read more... Science and Religion in Identity Crisis - STANLEY L. JAKIThree hundred or so years ago not a few scientists spoke of science and religion as united in a holy alliance. Two hundred years later theologians could do little about the warfare in which science and religion appeared to be locked forever. Read more... Science and the Demands of Virtue - Father Gregory JensenContrary to the popular understanding, the natural sciences are not morally neutral. Not only do the findings of science have moral implications, the actual work of scientific research presupposes that the researcher himself is a man of virtue. Read more... Science and the Story that we Need - NEIL POSTMANA serious spiritual problem confronting us in the technological age is that in having effectively solved the problem of information scarcity, we now find that we lack the transcendent narratives that would provide us with the moral guidance, social purpose, and intellectual economy necessary to tell us what we need to know, and especially what we do not need to know.
