'The Big Bang is not in contradiction with the faith,' Father Jose Gabriel Funes said... Fr Funes told CNA at the event that the Big Bang explanation 'is the best theory we have right now about the creation of the universe.' The theory holds that creation began some 14 billion years ago with a colossal explosion in which space, time, energy and matter were created, and galaxies, stars and planets - which are in continual expansion - came to be... Ultimately, Catholics 'should see the cosmos as a gift of God' and should 'admire the beauty that exists in the universe.' 'This beauty we see in some way leads us to the beauty of the creator,' he said. 'And also, because God has granted us intelligence and reason, we can find the logos, that rational explanation that exists in the universe that allows us to engage in science as well.' The Big 'Bang' was a Seed; the 'explosion' was a sprouting. |
