Science Points to God - Bishop Barron's Sunday Sermon

Friends, we’re all familiar with the story of the three wise men, which has been depicted in thousands of Christmas cards. And there is something romantic and charming about it. But on this great Feast of the Epiphany, I want to develop an important angle of the story very much on the minds of many people today-namely, the whole problem of religion and science.

Before I converted to Catholicism I was a Protestant young earther. But as I earned my degree in Biology at Hillsdale College, it became progressively clear the evidence for evolutionary theory is overwhelming and pervasive across the natural world. Instead of disaffiliating, because science cannot explain the first cause and meaning of the universe, I held both as true, and rather looked for fault in my own interpretation of scripture that made my belief in God incompatible with science. This search was part of what lead me to the Catholic Church. Thank you Benedict XVI for your magnificent “In The Beginning…” homilies and my Christian professors whose example showed me it is not a mutually exclusive dichotomy! Now I teach AP Biology at a high school and am a devout Catholic!

[@Vsapph11]

Good for you to that you persisted in searching for the truth. I’ll check out the homilies you mentioned. Thanks

[@DoubleOhSilver]

Evolution theory makes so little sense though, I'm not sure how it became more clear rather than muddied. That's what happened when I looked into it. Same with the Big Bang Theory.

[@familysmith3820]

Evolution and the Big Bang theory run into serious problems since they are in violation of the second law of thermodynamics which states entropy always increases in a system causing order to become chaos. The cell is so complex full of so much information via dna how it could have formed from precursors chemicals seems impossible. The Big Bang theory is seriously flawed since unmeasured and in observable dark energy and dark matter account for 95% of the universe necessary mathematically to explain the remaining 5% to make the theory work.

Amazing Truth , And Absolutely there was A Reason For Pope Benedict , so Intelligent. God Bless you for reaching and searching for Truth 🙏🏻. Love it ❤

[@lucaspieraccini1712]

@@DoubleOhSilver If you’re interested in understanding evolutionary theory, I’d recommend reading the work of RA Fischer and JBS Haldane, then Theodosius Dobzhansky, and finally George Williams! Don’t rely on popularized understandings of evolutionary theory, it’s plagued by skewed and mythical misrepresentations of what genuine biologists theorize in actuality. Can’t speak to the Big Bang Theory though, because I lack an education in astro-physics. I’d also recommend reading CS Lewis’ essay on The Funeral of a Great Myth from Christian Reflections!

I am a practicing catholic and trained paleontologist. I always found that faith and science have never been at odds. Only our interpretation.

I am a physicist and a practicing Catholic. Bishop Barron is speaking of a great truth. I couldn't have expressed it more beautifully. As Catholics, we are fortunate to have deep intellectual traditions within our faith. We are fortunate to have thinkers such as Bishop Barron reminding us of the deep truth of reality.

[@the-outsider8458]

Religions make you ignore your knowledge of physics, doesn't it? But only when it comes to God. That's definitionally special pleading. How do you decide when something needs to be further studied and when it's just "God did it"?

As a PhD physicist and practicing Catholic who, in my younger years, once left the church (when I was consumed by scientism), but who ultimately (and thankfully) came to appreciate the products of His infinite imagination the more I learned about His creation (and the more I came to appreciate the points you so eloquently cite), I genuinely appreciate your bringing to light these indispensable insights to a broader audience. Everyone who cares to better appreciate the mystery the Bishop citing should read Wigner's impactful essay. And yes, science could only have emerged via a Christian metaphysics.

So right Bishop! By studying the sciences, we learn that the world is intelligible. In my 45 years of studying and working in molecular biology in the medical arena, I have found that the deeper I delved into the multitude of areas in this field, the more it has pointed me to God. I have always had a very strong faith in God, and I have enjoyed developing both of these aspects of my life together.

Thanks Bishop Barron. I am a Argentine physicist that has worked for the last 40 years in climatology, climate dynamics and the relationship with environmental issues. I fully agree with you: math is the language of sciences. It also is the language through which we can understand, as yet imperfectly, the action of the Logos, in nature. The biosphere is a wonderful mirror of the Almighty God, since in it life literallly brings forth life, life sustains life: nature bears the imprint of God or rather the immanence of God as Franciscans say.

Do you think Catholics or people of faith- could band together and affirm faith and science large? Also could they work together?! Bishop Barron is drawing out stimulating vibrant folks that could pull the nones from their phones and into authentic life.

[@jeffk862]

​@@user-gv6xn9cs3b yes i think they should. Im relatively new to being Christian, but ive always been on the borders of religion. Science, mysticism, comparative religion, spirituality, every thing around religion, without practicing. Now that i have really become a faithful Christian, im realizing that religious conversations dont really reach outside of religious circles the way they should. Christian theology is so deep and rich, but it must not be concerned with evangelism. The most active evangelism comes from the most hollow forms of Christianity, like the Prosperity Gospel Televangelists, and also the scandels from the Catholic church are god awful. I hope the true message can be spread and Christians across the world reunited

[@angelacastellarin]

I remember when I was in university and I was struggling with a lot of different things. I was foolish enough to believe that science and religion were in conflict, until I took a history class. It was the History of Science, Religion and Magic in the 16th century. Our final paper was where we had to choose two of the three and decide whether they were in conflict or whether they worked together. I picked Science and Religion and I was hell bent on showing they were in conflict. Every time I tried though, I kept running into proof that Science does not exist without Religion. They are in fact united. I remember reading some of Galileo’s evidence and he explained things like this “Science explains HOW things happen. Religion explains WHY things happen.” Thank the Lord for that history class. It brought me back to the beginning. It brought me back to God!🙏🏼✝️

The very first time I heard this argument was in 2003, from Stephen C Meyer, the father of the Intelligent Design Theory. It resonated well with my own thinking. When I made the decision to join the Catholic Church in 2008, I was fully consumed by the idea of the Intelligent Design, emotionally attached to the Catholic Church, motivated by my experience of miracles, and encouraged by knowing that one of my relatives converted long ago and was baptized. Science, math, physics, biology, in fact, is still a cornerstone of my belief in the supreme power of God the way our Catholic faith has it.

Bishop, I love to listen to you, not because I am a great mind, not because I am a scientist or a math person, but because I am not and you make sense to me now in my almost 80th year. But I remember not being interested in learning more about my faith, or not having the time or the discipline to do so. I think young people have too many distractions, too many interests (sports, etc.) supported by their parents who think they are doing the right things by getting them involved, keeping them out of trouble. For kids to even ponder the why of it all is not interesting to them, now. Maybe later and I hope later is not too late. I PRAY for my own grandkids today so that in the future they will WANT to know more about God and will ask themselves WHY.

Science is a consequence of religious beliefs - as Bishop Barron so beautifully explained. The conclusion follows - faith is above reason and laboratory experiments.

The greatest obstacle to discovery is not ignorance - it is the illusion of knowledge. Daniel J. Boorstin

[@LeslieKlinger]

This is a provocative sermon....thank you so much

Looking deeper into science is looking deeper into the eye of God.

How thoughtful of God to arrange matters so that, wherever you happen to be born, the local religion always turns out to be the true one. Richard Dawkins

This topic has been central to my faith journey for around 40 years and I thank you for keeping it alight. In college years, I wrestled with evolution vs. the literal interpretation of Genesis which led me to a form of "scientism." Life and grace ultimately led me back to a more nuanced approach consistent with the Catholic approach to Biblical interpretation and allowance for evolution in Church teaching. Like many things in life, it's about utilizing both-and thinking over either-or thinking, not in order to be relativistic, but to be better able to let more light in.

It was through my understanding quantum physics that I was able to better comprehend the Holy Trinity. In his early days of teaching at the university level, Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger taught that the physics of wave/partical actions were an accurate parable for God...matter and energy are the same: Wow.

[@amystockham9953]

Finally, we acknowledge that God is the author of science.

[@amystockham9953]

Thank you. Some people think that God wants the dark ages again.

Brilliant, thanks Bishop Barron🤍

One thing I learned about statistics: numbers can't answer the greatest question, which is "Why?" L.E.E., or "Lived Experience Education" has to be included in the gathering of statistics. That means those who are willing to speak their traumas, dramas, joys, etc. both interior of the confessional and exterior of the confessional helps to answer the "Great Why," and still -- only God can calm the soul when we meet Him when we die. That's what I got out of this homily, this morning, Bishop Barron. Thank you very much for integration of Psychology and Theology in your education of we the learners. God bless you! ❤❤❤

[@alexrebello5074]

Thank you, Bishop Barron, for bridging in your homily science and religion. Faith is never against reason but above reason. When God asks me to believe, He does not want me to be unreasonable but to go beyond reason. Faith seeks understanding. (Fr. Alex 81 year old priest in Mumbai)

[@miguelortizbe]

Thank you Bishop, God bless you. i have listened to the story since my childhood, never made much sense. that changed today thanks to your great mind.🙏

[@Megalodon74]

Exceptional sermon. God bless you bishop

Science and God ARE NOT FIGHTED between each other. I say this as an engineer. You can proudly be a man of God and a scientist; amazing video, Bishop.
