The Big Bang

[Katholikos]

The modern big bang theory originated with a twentieth-century Catholic priest, Father Georges Lemaitre.

The "father of astrophysics" was a priest -- a Jesuit -- Father Angelo Secchi. He was the first to classify stars by their spectra.

There are many Catholic scientists, some of whom are also priests.

The Vatican has observatories in Rome and in Arizona, staffed by priest-astronomers (and a Jesuit Brother, Guy Consolmagno, who does great science and writes great books).

[quote name='amarkich' date='May 4 2004, 08:22 AM'] That is actually a Modernist belief. It is incorrect to assume that the Big Bang is an acceptable belief since the Church teaches a different thing on the very same subject (this is different from other scientific theories such as the Quantam Theory or other scientific laws). God bless. [/quote]
The Church does not teach science.
