Sunday Mass Sermon - Is Science Opposed to Faith ?
Word on Fire Ministry ^ | 01.02.22 | Aux. Bishop R. Barron

Posted on 01/02/2022 4:54:46 PM PST by MurphsLaw

Today's Sermon explores the Magi and their desire to follow their science in paying homage to the 2 King of Kings - and how Faith has come to get a bad rap with the secularists.

14 min. YouTube Video

Is Science Opposed to Faith?



TOPICS: Apologetics; Catholic; Religion & Science
KEYWORDS: abiogenesis; crevo; scientism
The Scientific achievements and contributions from the Christian
faith, from Mendel to LeMaitre, are too easily dismissed by those
who simply parrot the expression "follow the science"...

The correctly-applied Bible is a friend to true science.

I said the previous comment wrong.

Correct statement:

True science is a friend to correctly-applied Bible.

Real science is not.

Agenda driven science can often be.

Junk science is.

Scientism is opposed to other faiths. Science is not opposed to Christian faith.

It depends on the scientist and his sponsor.

True science is the expression of faith. It is based on a belief that creation is orderly, functions by laws, and is understandable. These are also the fundamental principles of a life of faith.

Science isn’t opposed to scripture nor christianity, but scientism IS. Scientism is the ‘belief’ in science. It is the latest cool religion, rapidly gaining adherents.
