[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The Nicene Creed

[b]I believe in one God, the Father almighty, maker of heaven and earth, of all things visible and invisible.[/b]

I believe in one Lord Jesus Christ, the Only Begotten Son of God, born of the Father before all ages. God from God, Light from Light, true God from true God, begotten, not made, consubstantial with the Father; through him all things were made. For us men and for our salvation he came down from heaven, and by the Holy Spirit was incarnate of the Virgin Mary, and became man. For our sake he was crucified under Pontius Pilate, he suffered death and was buried, and rose again on the third day in accordance with the Scriptures. He ascended into heaven and is seated at the right hand of the Father. He will come again in glory to judge the living and the dead and his kingdom will have no end.

I believe in the Holy Spirit, the Lord, the giver of life, who proceeds from the Father and the Son, who with the Father and the Son is adored and glorified, who has spoken through the prophets.

I believe in one, holy, catholic and apostolic Church. I confess one Baptism for the forgiveness of sins and I look forward to the resurrection of the dead and the life of the world to come. Amen.

So, the above is what I believe as a Christian and a Catholic.

I also practice and apply the scientific method. The two are not incompatible.

What drives us to explore and invent if not a faith in the unknown.

And I also can't deny history and historical facts. [/quote]

What drives us to explore and invent is intellectual curiosity, not religious faith

Catholic beliefs and the scientific method are not compatible, but it is possible to compartmentalize them, which you apparently have done.

Many Catholics have made significant contributions to the development of science and mathematics from the Middle Ages to today. These scientists include Galileo Galilei, René Descartes, Louis Pasteur, Blaise Pascal, André-Marie Ampère, Charles-Augustin de Coulomb, Pierre de Fermat, Antoine Laurent Lavoisier, Alessandro Volta, Augustin-Louis Cauchy, Pierre Duhem, Jean-Baptiste Dumas, Alois Alzheimer, Georgius Agricola and Christian Doppler.

Huge and impressive list of Catholics who contributed way more to science than lots of people, including you.
