I Like Frank
I mean of course the Pontiff.
In his latest acknowledgement of reality, he has recognizes that the Big Bang Theory is real and throws a shindig:
The Vatican has invited the world's leading scientists and cosmologists to try and understand the Big Bang.Considering that the Vatican Observatory had a significant role in the genesis* of the Big Bang theory, this is very apropos.
Astrophysicists and other experts will attend the Vatican Observatory to discuss black holes, gravitational waves and space-time singularities as it honors the late Jesuit cosmologist considered one of the fathers of the idea that the universe began with a gigantic explosion.
The conference – which runs through the week – is part of an increasing admission by the church that scientific theories were real and not necessarily in contradiction with theological doctrine.
Pope Francis declared in 2014 for instance that God is not "a magician with a magic wand" and that evolution and Big Bang theory are real.
*Pun not intended.
