Brother Guy Consolmagno, S.J. at the intersection of faith and science
As readers know, I am a big fan of astronomer and Jesuit Guy Consolmagno. I was delighted to learn that he won the prestigious Carl Sagan Medal from the American Astronomical Society this week. Set forth below is an excerpt from the Jesuit website:
Because of his unique perspective as both a scientist and a man of faith, Jesuit Brother Guy Consolmagno has been awarded the Carl Sagan Medal from the American Astronomical Society (AAS).
The Division for Planetary Sciences of the AAS, which gives the award to one individual each year, chose Br. Consolmagno because he “occupies a unique position within our profession as a credible spokesperson for scientific honesty within the context of religious belief.” The award is named after the late astronomer Carl Sagan, who was a popular author and writer of the 1980 television series “Cosmos.”

“As a Jesuit Brother, Guy has become the voice of the juxtaposition of planetary science and astronomy with Christian belief, a rational spokesperson who can convey exceptionally well how religion and science can co-exist for believers,” the AAS wrote.

There is an irony in that many scientists pick and choose their evidence based on limited cases or experiments to make general statements. Are you a ham radio op by any chance?
