Explore the big questions of science and religion with the Director of the Vatican Observatory.
While science and religion have often been seen as contradictory forces, in reality they complement each other. Indeed, Catholics have often been at the forefront of scientific discovery; the Augustinian friar Gregor Mendel innovated the study of genetics, and the Jesuit Georges Lemaître first proposed the big bang theory. More recently, Pope Francis issued Laudato Si, an encyclical that addresses global warming.
Now you can join a leading Catholic scientist in examining the most vital questions about the universe. Your guide, Br. Guy Consolmagno, SJ, deals with big things—stars, galaxies, and unfathomable distances—but that’s not the kind of “bigness” that you will explore here. Instead you will tackle the hows and whys of the universe.
In this brilliant course, you will ask yourself: Does science need God? Can physics prove the existence of God? How do we understand miracles? What is life, and how will we recognize it on other planets? What is the soul?

The Church embraces and encourages science for the praise and glory of God.
The Church embraces and encourages science for the praise and glory of God. Modern scientific inquiry often embarks on disproving the metaphysical, the spiritual and religion or is pursued merely because it can be done.

The speaker is humorous and engaging.
Dr Consolmagno takes patience to explain really complex scientific theories and helpfully tag others with a comment along the line of “just know about this without struggling to understand too much.” The speaker is humorous and engaging. Above all, the topics are potentially paradigm shifting on how we think about religion.

Brother Guy’s books and lectures are wonderful expositions on science and faith. As a scientist and believer myself, Dr. Consolmagno does a fantastic job of articulating why belief in God and practicing science do not have to be mutually exclusive.

I heard this guy lecture
I heard Dr. Consolmagno speak at St. Ignatius church in San Francisco. He was a fount of knowledge, lucid, fascinating. He answered all questions posed by the audience. I only wish I could have had several more hours of his time, to have him answer more.

It was very informative and clearly explained how science and faith are not incompatible. Bro. Guy uses clear examples and humor to get his points across.

Science and Faith are complementary – especially since both are rooted in God. Scripture reveals that God deemed and declared His creation very good.

I have taken several advanced university physics and cosmology courses recently from a couple of the top professors in the field. I smile (politely inwardly) when they say that the bottom line is, that they don
