I was on a tour of this museum a few years ago, fascinating.

I had never heard of this extraordinary Priest until I saw him mentioned on an edition of Michael Portillo's Railway Journeys . I am not a Catholic but I really don't like the attitude of people like Richard Dawkins who think science and religion are mutually exclusive . I like to remind people of the Dawkins persuasion that it was Le Maitre who was the important theorist behind the Big Bang . 🕊️

Why so? There are countless examples of others like Fr Callan. Just look up the 'Jesuit scientists' category on Wikipedia - it's incredible!
