ITEST Webinar - Assessing Contemporary Science in the Light of Faith (January 15, 2022)

In this episode of I Thought You'd Like to Know, Dr. Stacy Trasancos presents for the Institute for Theological Encounter with Science and Technology on Assessing Contemporary Science in the Light of Faith. (January 15, 2022)Today we hear, “Follow the science!” People use that idiom as if to say that science is the path to all truth and that if we follow where science leads, we will never be led astray. But science doesn’t work like that. The Catholic Church has a long history, codified in Genesis and professed still in our Creed, that science is the study of the handiwork of God. Science is a search for truth, but it must be guided by the light of faith. Dr. Trasancos tells about her efforts to reunite contemporary science back with theology and philosophy in a more mature way than the Middle Ages when science was first born of Christianity. To authentically follow science in the light of faith will be the way to true progress in technology that benefits humanity, both in this world and the one to come.https://faithscience.org/theology-of-science/
