Guy Consolmagno, the Vatican's astronomer and a Jesuit Brother, spoke at our museum for a science
award luncheon and at a special seminar for science teachers. 

During his discussion with the teachers, one asked how he could reconcile his faith with his being
a scientist.

He smiled and said he could find no conflict. That to him, there could be no finer way to worship
God than to study his creation and who was he to limit the methods The Big Guy used?

I have no problem with the science of evolution. I'm studied it too long, under several different
disciplines to have any question of its validity. I also have no problem believing in a Higher
Power. My work studying human culture and teaching natural science has never cast a doubt there
for me. It has, however, inspired a healthy dose of cynicism when dealing with humans organized as
religious groups. Our brains are far too small.

Humans are such a beautiful mess.
