Fr. Jeffrey Madley September 24, 2020 at 10:47 am on ⓜ Creation Stories: Science, Religion, and Science Fiction…Part 1Good analogy between religion and science. It's nice to see one doesn't preclude the other, but complements it.
Bob Prokop September 24, 2020 at 9:15 am on ⓜ Logo madness: Diary of 19 September, 2020That should have been "3XL" - sorry.
Bob Prokop September 24, 2020 at 9:13 am on ⓜ Logo madness: Diary of 19 September, 2020I'm a huge fan of T-shirts with logos. If the Vatican Observatory had them for sale (in size 3Xl), I would definitely buy several. Looking forward to seeing a "shop" tab at the top of your website.
Stan Sienkiewicz September 22, 2020 at 8:48 pm on Sleepless in Wisconsin: My Comet Neowise ImagesDear Fr. Kurzynski, Thank you for this post about getting out there and observing the stars. Then capturing with a photo. I am just starting with astrophotography and it can take away from the pure joy of just seeing it before you. But then again, in my light polluted skies...
Stan Sienkiewicz September 21, 2020 at 8:07 pm on ⓜ Logo madness: Diary of 19 September, 2020For what its worth, replying to: So, which name do you prefer? ACE or ACME? Let us know! ACME, not because I do agree with the thoughts of the road runner but by adding ministry and educator it does throw a wider net.
Richard Saam September 21, 2020 at 7:35 pm on The Wisdom of the Biblical Accounts of Creation (Part One) – Exploring Pope Francis’ Spiritual Vision of Creation in Laudato Si’Further contemplating Genesis, I am particularly struck by Pope Francis' Encyclical LAUDATO SI’, On Care Of Our Common Home, Paragraph 239: "For Christians, believing in one God who is trinitarian communion suggests that the Trinity has left its mark on all creation." 'All creation' in this technological age means quarks...
Fr. Jeffrey Madley September 14, 2020 at 12:16 pm on The Mystery of the Universe – Exploring Pope Francis’ Spiritual Vision of Creation in Laudato Si’Nice commentary on Laudato Si, Fr. Jim. We definitely need the Pope's new encyclical these days. Good work.
Fr. Timothy Sauppé September 14, 2020 at 3:52 am on North by NorthwestBeautiful. Thank you for sharing. Love over the stars.
Joel Hopko September 12, 2020 at 10:47 am on ⓜ Science and humilityAmen. The signature of health in science and religion. Thanks for your work in both realms. -- Joel
Br. Guy Consolmagno September 12, 2020 at 7:58 am on ⓜ Science and humilityExactly. The key to both science and faith is to combine both the ability to say “I don’t know” with the confidence to say, “but I can find out.” As we learn more, we also learn how much more there is to learn; but that can only happen if we...
Ed Yepez September 12, 2020 at 7:31 am on Astronomy in Art & Architecture: Look Down and see the SkyAztec Calendar! Pyramids of the Sun, and Moon. Yes, "Mexican" food is my weakness too!
Joel Hopko September 11, 2020 at 9:28 am on ⓜ Science and humilityBr. Guy -- Just had the chance to read this. I think the history of science provides a very apt metaphor -- in several ways -- for considering our faith heritage. Like science we have certain core insights which can provide us "operating assumptions." Like science these insights have been...
Joel Hopko September 10, 2020 at 8:14 am on Fear, Isolation, and CalendarsBr. Guy -- Thanks for drawing the wonderful connection between your scientific vocation and our basic human emotions. Just hearing an honest accounting is somehow simultaneously soothing and encouraging in these apocalyptic times. One of the must distressing aspects of 2020 is that even our bedrock assumptions of what is...
Christopher M. Graney September 9, 2020 at 3:27 pm on The Origin of the Origin of LifeIn this case, the fact is (as Khan did keep saying) "we don't know". I suspect that not knowing leaves a lot of room for old ideas to stick around, maybe in ways we scientists do not realize even as we are working on them. As many times as I...
Bob Prokop September 6, 2020 at 5:30 am on Specola Guestbook | April 13-28, 1922: IAU 1st General Assembly part 1 – Aitken, Curtis, van Steenwijk, Cortie, and SteinScanning that sea of "old white men" in the picture, I was surprised (and pleased) to see the faces of at least five women amongst them. I hope they signed the guest book!
Fr. Timothy Sauppé September 5, 2020 at 7:51 am on The Origin of the Origin of LifeShould be .....Tohu wa-bohu.
Fr. Bruce Wilkinson September 5, 2020 at 7:34 am on The Origin of the Origin of LifeI find it to be fascinating that “modern ideas” can often be discovered in ancient, historic thinking and philosophical reflection. Sometimes maybe we modern folks are really only attempting to dot the “i” and cross the “t”.
Fr. Timothy Sauppé September 5, 2020 at 6:28 am on The Origin of the Origin of LifeHmmm. It sounds awfully like something I have read before. Maybe, Diodorus Sidulus is rifting off Tohu wabuho?
Fr. James Kurzynski September 3, 2020 at 4:53 am on The Readiness Is All: Faith, Science, Sports, and OSIRIS-RExPowerful passage! Thanks for sharing it!
Bob Prokop August 31, 2020 at 9:22 am on The Readiness Is All: Faith, Science, Sports, and OSIRIS-RExCharles Williams (the "Third Inkling", alongside Tolkien and C.S. Lewis) wrote something rather apropos in his book Taliessin Through Logres, where the king's poet and field commander appears to be delaying overlong to order a vital counterattack at Mount Badon. A knight nearby criticizes Taliessin calmly observing the slaughter around...
