Friday of Week 32 Year 1

There are many things in this world which could be explained by science. What was once thought to be the consequence of malicious creatures or evil, or even divine retribution, could be scientifically proven. However, there are also many things in this world which science is still unable to explain or discover. For example, science has yet to fully understand or explain when and how exactly does conception take place or even when and how exactly we would die, since such things can happen at moments beyond our expectation.

This is why today's reading tells us: "Naturally stupid are all men who have not known God and who, from the good things that are seen, have not been able to discover Him-who-is, or, by studying the works, have failed to recognise the Artificer... if they are capable of acquiring enough knowledge to be able to investigate the world, how have they been so slow to find its Master?" Some people seem to think that science can solve or explain many things, but time and again we come across situations which cannot be explained with our intellect or with science, but with faith and trust that God is in the equation. May we learn to discover those things which science can explain and help us understand, while being firmly rooted in faith that God is there to guide us and be our help.
