Epiphany 2023 – “https://www.purposefuluniverse.com/videos”
I have never
preached on a particular website before…until now…
As I have
talked about in previous years, the average age a young person makes the
decision to leave the Catholic Church is now 13…and the number 1 reason they leave
is because of science.
I want to
invite all parents, grandparents, guardians etc. to visit and bookmark and
share with all the children and teens under their influence the following
website: https://www.purposefuluniverse.com/videos
Today the
Church remembers the visit of the Magi, astronomers who were constantly studying
the sky and the stars, and that science led them to the Christ child.
So it is
also the case today. Catholics do not
believe you can prove the existence of God…but Catholics do believe that
science ought to lead scientists and everyone to the doorstep of God.
The discovery
of the big bang theory was by a Catholic priest. The person who came up with genetic science
was Fr. Gregor Mendel…Fr. Tad Pacholczyk is the director of the National
Catholic Bioethics center and has degrees in philosophy, biochemistry, molecular
cell biology, and chemistry and a PhD in neuroscience from Yale University…the
videos also feature Karin Oberg who is a professor of Astrophysics at Harvard
who converted to Catholicism while studying astrophysics…the list could go on
and on…
Indeed it is
the Catholic world view that is the bedrock of science and the scientific
method…the idea that God created the world and that there is an order to the
universe comes from the Catholic understanding of God that you don’t find in
other religious traditions where gods are finnicky or too aloof from the world
to make the world with any sort of order.
The purposefuluniverse.com/videos has so many wonderful videos about the intersection of Catholicism and science…in
order to reverse the tide of young people leaving the Catholic Church because
of science, show your young people the videos at the https://www.purposefuluniverse.com/videos
Science led
the Magi to Christ 2,000 years ago and has the ability to lead all of us to Christ
today.
