Seeing God in all Things:
From St. Ignatius to Modern Cosmology
Rev. Robert J. Spitzer, S.J.
“The Heavens Proclaim the Glory of God.” — The insight of Psalm 19 is more appropriate today than ever. Beneath the beauty of the outward universe is another more profound and subtle beauty – the symmetry, orderliness, and elegance of its constants and initial conditions that make life possible. As we probe the universe’s inner beauty, we see evidence not only of a Creator, but a remarkably imaginative and intelligent mind that manifests an unconditionally loving heart.
Fr. Spitzer will examine this beauty from the vantage point of mind and heart suggesting the compatibility and complementarity of science, theology, and aesthetics.
