Students at Regis Jesuit High School were treated to a special visit by the Jesuit brother April 20 for an all-school assem- bly in which he spoke of the crucial junc- ture of life the students are in. Following the assembly, he hosted two Q&A sessions for students interested in the convergence and compatibility between science and faith. An evening presentation open to the public was also held in which Brother Consolmagno addressed the question, "Does Science Need Faith?" Speaking of his own path to becom- ing a world-renowned astronomer and a Jesuit, Brother Consolmagno encour- aged the students to embrace this time of their lives and use it to fi nd those things that bring them joy — and a bright future. "This is the time when you become self-aware. This is the time when you have the chance to daydream," he said. "Human beings do more than just put food on the table because we are more than just well-fed cows. We are crea- tures who dream. Now's the time to bring God's joy into your life." Brother Consolmagno found that joy when he decided he wanted to be a sci- entist. He majored in earth and plane- tary science at¡Massachusetts Institute of Technology and became fascinated with meteorites. "You can hold outer space in your hands, and I was hooked," he said. His vocation as a Jesuit brother never confl icted with his profession as a scientist. In fact, he tends to look at science as an act of worship. "Science needs faith, it needs joy, or it wouldn't happen," Brother Consol- magno told the audience at his evening presentation. He related his work¡as a scientist to playing a game with God, much like a parent plays¡ with a child as an expression of love. "Spending time, sharing the joy, the little bit of discovery we get in a simple game that a kid can play — that's how I feel when I'm in the laboratory," he said. "I'm playing a game with God. God has set up the puzzle, it's up to me to solve it. And when I get a little progress, I can hear God saying, 'Yeah, isn't that cool? Now let me show you the next step.' That's why doing science is an act of worship." IMAGINARY ODDS The debate between science and reli- gion persists, even to this day, but the two don't have to be at odds, Brother Consol- magno said. In fact, the Catholic Church has historically played an important role in advancing scientifi c studies. After all, it was in the medieval universities, which were started to train priests and clergy, where the study of science began. "We owe our system, not only of edu- cating people, but also of letting other people know that you've been educated, [to] the Church," he explained. People are often surprised to dis- cover that the Vatican has an observa- tory, let alone a team of scientists doing important¡ scientifi c work, Brother Consolmagno said. The attitude that religion and science are at odds can do more damage than good, he said. "How many great scientists have we lost by insisting there's a war between the two? It's out of my faith that I believe sci- ence can work, and it's out of my faith that I can justify doing science," he argued.
