Marco Bersanelli is saying what I’ve always been saying and thought. Science and Religion is not exclusionary. From the Big Bang and even to Evolution, one can see God’s hand at work (God works in mysterious ways).

Take evolution – as a Catholic, he doesn’t see a problem with evolution “as a search for the process that makes the universe flourish.”

Ditto here. We were taught evolution in Catholic grade school.

Outstanding article. In an era where almost everything gets reduced to ideology, he has a genuinely balanced scientist. (Though I suspect the ideologues would disagree with me.)

As for how the Church should approach evolution, Bersanelli thinks it’s doing well, being open to science while warning of the degeneration of science into ideology.

Which happens all too often these days.

For a lot of people, science has replaced religion, with its adherents promising that science can do only what religion and God are capable of doing, that is leading to truth and giving meaning and purpose to life.
