George Coyne, SJ, astrophysicist, Jesuit priest and President of the Vatican Observatory will address the question: Did we come about by chance or by necessity in this evolving universe? According to our best scientific knowledge the question is not formulated adequately. It is not just a question of chance or necessity because, first of all, it is both. Furthermore, there is a third element that is very important. It is what we might call the "fertility" of the universe, which, at about 14 billion years of age and containing about 10,000 billion billion (10 22) stars offers so rich an opportunity for the successful interplay of chance and necessity that its character must be considered in the search for our origins. Coyne will present the best scientific understanding of the universe and our place in it, using actual photos from deep space. He will address the perennial question: does science support or contradict belief in a Creator God? As believers, may we reflect on the question: what kind of God would create a universe like the one we know through science?
