Vatican Astronomer Says Church & Science Go Hand in Hand - 11/7/2009
Many people believe that science and religion have historically been at odds, but Brother Guy Cosolmango will tell you otherwise.
The Vatican astronomer was the keynote speaker at "Astrofeast," an annual fundraiser for Kopernik Observatory.
His lecture titled "The Heavens Proclaim" aimed to debunk myths about the church and science and he says that the two go hand in hand.
"Science is a fantastic way of getting to know Creation and to get to know the Creator. So I'm here to encourage people to look at the stars, look through a telescope, and to find out what's going on with astronomy," said Vatican Astronomer Brother Guy Cosolmango.
