Priest Scholar Argues Religion和Science Can Coexist
Canon Georges Lemaitre, Belgian priest and physicist, told the South African Association for the Promotion of Science in Cape Town that belief in God does not hinder science. He said religion and science are distinct and compatible, with evolution as a hypothesis that would not alter Catholic doctrine. He noted the Church holds the human soul is created by God, and warned against weak arguments for the Catholic position that invite ridicule.
