Science investigates; religion interprets. Science gives man knowledge which is power; religion gives man wisdom which is control. Science deals mainly with facts; religion deals mainly with values. The two are not rivals. They are complementary. Science keeps religion from sinking into the valley of crippling irrationalism and paralyzing obscurantism. Religion prevents science from falling into the marsh of obsolete materialism and moral nihilism.

So today’s Google Doodle is honoring Nicolas Steno (a Latinization of his Danish name, Niels Steensen).

Very cool. Basically the founder of the science of geology.

I wonder how many people know he was a Catholic bishop who was beatified by JP2.

Michael Flynn shares a few thoughts on Religion and Science…

As we should be genuinely sorry for tramps and paupers who are materially homeless, so we should be sorry for those who are morally homeless, and who suffer a philosophical starvation as deadly as physical starvation. Not only is it true that some of the most modern philosophers are only trying to prove that we cannot have a philosophy; it is even more true that the most modern among the physical scientists are only trying to prove that science is not physical. It would be even truer to say that some of them are trying to prove that science is not science. For science is only an old word for knowledge; and knowledge is exactly what some of the new scientists say we can never obtain.

Catholics: You need to read this article.

Father Shane answers a question about “the Catholic stance on the science of Intelligent Design”.  I’ve gotta say, he pretty much knocks this one out of the park.

wilwheaton:

Seven hundred and fifty light-years from Earth, a young, sunlike star has been found with jets that blast epic quantities of water into interstellar space, shooting out droplets that move faster than a speeding bullet.

The discovery suggests that protostars may be seeding the universe with water. These stellar embryos shoot jets of material from their north and south poles as their growth is fed by infalling dust that circles the bodies in vast disks.

Mind blown…

This seems like kind of a big deal.
