Aquinas 101: Science & Faith

Has modern science made faith in God impossible? Does belief in miracles and traditional dogmas require us to deny scientific evidence, or abandon the scientific method? Does Schrodinger’s cat invalidate the principle of non-contradiction? The Catholic faith does not need to fear contemporary science. In fact, great believing minds have steered the scientific project until today, and still have much to say about the harmony of science and divine faith.
