Seven Myths about the Catholic Church & Science: A Refutation of Popular Errors

In Seven Myths about the Catholic Church and Science, Dr. Benjamin Wiker dispels the most common and persistent confusions about the relationship between the Faith and scientific inquiry. All too often, this relationship is presented—in the popular media and even in history books—as if it is a war, an endless battle between superstition and the forces of light and reason.

Quite to the contrary, Professor Wiker proves the truth is that the Church is and always has been the great friend, patron and protector of science. Certainly, the Church is not a flatterer, but she is a friend nonetheless. The so-called "war" waged against science is merely the Church's efforts to steer its flock away from scientific theories that, however attractive and popular they may be, ultimately undermine natural and supernatural truths, undermine morality, and undermine science itself.

The Church is the great patron of science because the Church rejoices in two kinds of truth: those revealing the wisdom of God the Creator and those revealing the love of God the Redeemer. It has no anxiety about raising a single voice in the double praise, because the Creator God and the Redeemer God is the same God. The Church sits as judge over the intersections where science approaches morality. Scientists are human, and sometimes the Church must step in to remind them of their limits, especially those limits that safeguard their own humanity—just as the Church safeguards Christian orthodoxy.

Join Professor Wiker for a fascinating exposition on a wide variety of scientific topics, including the Big Bang, Evolution, Darwinism, Aliens, and more. Discover how the Church protects the humanity of scientists, their moral dignity, and their real freedom to choose good or evil.

Thank you for your feedback. It should be noted that this is only a short introduction to Dr. Wiker's course. In the complete version there is an entire, 30 minute, lecture dedicated to explaining why the Galilean myth is a lie.

I don't even disagree with half of this (especially the Galilean myth) but it doesn't change the fact that this was a lot of claims without backing them up.. For instance I agree with the fact the Galilean trail is in many ways misrepresented... You still made the claim that it was a myth and LIE without explaining why---some great ideas... Poor orator
