    Seth and Cesar take a step back and each share some of their journey of faith and how they each came to a point where they could reconcile their faith with their love of science. Seth shared how struggling with people around him who argued for a young earth 7 day creation theology brought him to a point where he sought to reconcile his understanding of science with his understanding of faith. Joining the Catholic Church helped him come to a point where he could pursue both areas of study without any conflict between the two. He discovered many people like Blaise Pascal who were brilliant scientists who were also faithful Christians and studied the world because they believed God made it make sense. They also talk about the impact of Thomas Aquinas on their views of faith and truth.

    Georg Cantor was a pioneering mathematician best known for creating set theory and introducing the concept of infinite numbers.

    David Hilbert was a central figure in 20th-century mathematics, renowned for his work in areas such as algebra, number theory, and mathematical logic. Hilbert and his students contributed to establishing rigor and developed important tools used in modern mathematical physics. Hilbert was one of the founders of proof theory and mathematical logic. Nowadays Hilbert Complex Space is used to represent qubits in the yet developing quantum computers.

    Alan Turing & William Thomas Tutte were two British mathematicians who worked in the area of cryptanalysts during World War II. They both worked to crack encrypted codes the Nazi’s were sending to each other.

    Sir Roger Penrose is a British mathematician, mathematical physicist, philosopher of science and Nobel Laureate in Physics. Penrose has contributed to the mathematical physics of general relativity and cosmology.

    John Lennox is an English mathematician, bioethicist, and Christian apologist originally from Northern Ireland. He has written many books on religion, ethics, the relationship between science and God.

    Carl Friedrich Gauss and Georg Friedrich Bernhard Riemann made groundbreaking contributions to mathematics, with Gauss known for his work in number theory, statistics, and the theory of Gaussian curves, as well as his contributions to electromagnetism and astronomy. Riemann, a student of Gauss, extended these ideas into new realms with his development of Riemannian geometry, which laid the foundation for Einstein’s theory of general relativity. Riemann also made significant advances in analysis and complex functions, including the Riemann hypothesis, a conjecture about the distribution of prime numbers that remains one of the most famous unsolved problems in mathematics. Their work collectively revolutionized mathematical thinking and had profound impacts across multiple scientific disciplines. They were also devout believers who incorporated their faith into every aspect of their work. Gauss said “God arithmetizes”, and Reimann saw his life as a mathematician as another way to serve God.

    What was the impact of Blaise Pascal on both the world of Mathematics and Faith? He was very outspoken and learned in both fields and had many thoughts on how the two worlds overlapped.

    What did Galileo Galilei teach about the Earth going around the sun and why did it cause such a problem with the Pope and the Catholic Church? So many people have an over simplified view of what happened between Galileo and the Catholic Church and we want to dive deep into the history of the events.
