- Notes
- "I was heartened to see the importance of science recognized for our faith journey ('Science is a God-given resource', December 2023, p. 1). As a recently-retired research engineer, I have long believed that science and faith are intertwined and inseparable. Science addresses our understanding of God’s universe (e.g., atoms, physics, geology, biology, astronomy) and faith addresses the unknowable (e.g., life beyond death, why the universe exists). God gave us the gift of brains and using them to our full potential is an acknowledgement of that gift ..". "Science and technology are often wonderful but can also provide great challenges. One area that comes to mind is medical science, where the ability to preserve life can sometimes be in conflict with the quality of life. In such challenging cases the Church is necessary to help provide guidance".
