About the Author

Dr. Gerard Verschuuren examines how various scientific fields, including genetics, neuroscience, behavioral science, semantics, logic, and mathematics, provide indications of a Creator's existence. He emphasizes that while science excels at explaining the "how" of natural phenomena, it is limited in addressing the "why," which often points beyond the natural to the supernatural. By recognizing these limitations and the hints within scientific discoveries, readers are encouraged to approach science with a mind open to faith, leading to a deeper understanding of existence and an intensified belief in God.

How Science Points to God

The social duty of religion and the right to religious freedom are presented to us in the Catechism. We examine what it means to have respect for other religions and the freedom, within limits, to exercise our convictions. Fr. Mike makes it clear that it is our calling as Christians to evangelize and bring our Catholic Christianity to the public square. Today’s readings are Catechism paragraphs 2104-2109.

This episode has been found to be in conformity with the Catechism by the Institute on the Catechism, under the Subcommittee on the Catechism, USCCB.

Acknowledgements

Dr. Andrew Abela explores how ancient civilizations utilized "super habits" — specific practices for decision-making, emotional management, and interpersonal relations — to achieve remarkable success. He explains that developing virtue doesn't require extraordinary effort but rather consistent daily practice. By adopting these time-tested habits, individuals can experience greater ease, lasting joy, and improved physical, mental, and emotional health. This approach offers a foundational plan for enduring personal growth.
