[Anselm33]

Please watch these lectures by Dr. Thomas E. Woods. There are episodes on the church and science, Galileo, the founding of the Universities, human rights, faith and reason, and more and how much various scientific disciplines owe to the orginal work of Catholic priests.

“Monsignor Georges Henri Joseph Édouard Lemaître July 17, 1894 – June 20, 1966 was a Belgian Roman Catholic priest, honorary prelate, professor of physics and astronomer at the Catholic University of Louvain. Lemaître proposed what became known as the Big Bang theory of the origin of the Universe, which he called his ‘hypothesis of the primeval atom’.”
