The Vatican has an observatory now, run by priests who are - TopicsExpress

The Vatican has an observatory now, run by priests who are scientists. But why now? Why not 100 years ago when science hadnt advanced and uncovered quite so much? Theyre also apologizing posthumously to Darwin now. On the one hand the church has always added and dropped and invented things from limbo to Apocryphal books to papal infallibility and celibacy and the exclusion of women from the priesthood. Of course on the other for most of their history theyve fought, persecuted and killed scientists and science. For most of its history it was very dangerous to challenge whatever the bible said about the nature of reality which culminated in hundreds of years of worldwide brutal inquisitions. And only after the church lost its absolute monopoly on life via the schisms within itself did leaps and bounds of progress occur from the Enlightenment to the Humanitarian Revolution to the Scientific Revolution. So, again I ask: why now? Could it be that its just because of all that science has uncovered and all the religious assertions it has disproven, the fact that it keeps going while religious dogma stays stagnant, and theres really no other choice? Perhaps because modern priests have so inevitably grown up immersed in scientific knowledge that this type of cognitive dissonance and compartmentalization is possible? Those priest scientists say they use science as a way to uncover the mysteries of god. Well,ok, but isnt that fundamentally conflicting with their training in the scientific method of not assuming conclusions and the instrumental principle of staying with the evidence when they always have in their mind where the ultimate reason, source and answer is? Isnt that scientific high treason and contaminated thinking that could lead you to all kinds of flawed conclusions? Seems like a pretty transparent, contrived and forced twisting of paradigms, purposes and definitions to try to fit into modernity. Seeing how religion isnt going anywhere anytime soon, Im not saying its a bad thing at all, its obviously progress. But the questions have to be asked and the implications must be recognized.
