I’m not Catholic but it is super important to realize that Catholics/Christians aren’t anti-science.

^^^^ The Bible even confirms many scientific beliefs, like the fact that the Earth is round.

Don’t forget one of my favorites, Gregor Mendel, the father of genetics!

and never forget Saint Albert! ❤

The Catholic Church built quite a few universities across Europe too, no?

Technically we Catholics created the whole “University” thing.

This is a perfect time to remind everyone that Galileo was excommunicated not because he said the sun was in the center but because he disagreed that the Bible said it. In addition, he died of natural causes. He was not killed by the Catholic Church.

Though I am Catholic, I would love to see a list of Protestant scientists one day! And Orthodox too. One big happy family of Christian scientists lol

There’s a compilition of both on wikipedia.
I’ve used it on atheists more than once

Brother Guy Consolmagno, SJ, is the Vatican’s head astronomer; also he’s a pretty well-known sf fan.
