Abstract
Ever since was forced to recant his proofs of a sun-centered solar system, the Roman Catholic Church has been considered hostile toward science. Not quite true, argues Jesuit Brother Guy Consolmagno in his moving and intellectually playful memoir of a life lived in the active interplay of science and religion. Blending memoir, science, history, and theology, Consolmagno takes us on a grand adventure. We revisit the infamous Galileo affair and see that it didn't unfold in quite the way we thought. We get a rare glimpse into the world of working scientists and see how scientific discoveries are proposed and advanced. We learn the inside story of the Mars meteorite: how can we be sure it's really from Mars, and why can't scientists agree on whether or not it contains evidence of life? Brother Astronomer memorably sets forth one scientist's conviction that the universe may be worth study only if it is the work of a Creator God.Words: science guyAuthor: Consolmagno, Guy Publisher: McGraw-Hill Illustration: Y Language: ENG Title: Brother Astronomer: Adventures of a Vatican Scientist Pages: 00256 (Encrypted PDF) On Sale: 2000-12-31 SKU-13/ISBN: 9780071354288 Lib Category: Astronomers Lib Category: Italy Category: Biography & Autobiography : Scientists General Category: Science : Astronomy General
