Philosophy plays a crucial role in guiding our understanding of natural science and its findings. The pursuit of knowledge in both philosophy and science share a common goal: to seek truth and wisdom. A deep appreciation for philosophical thought can foster critical thinking and analytical skills, essential for evaluating scientific theories and discoveries. In turn, the study of natural science can illuminate fundamental principles and concepts that underlie various philosophical disciplines. A rich understanding of both philosophy and natural science enables individuals to approach complex problems from multiple perspectives. By exploring the intersection of philosophy and science, we can gain a more nuanced comprehension of the world and its many mysteries. The historical development of scientific thought is inextricably linked with philosophical ideas and debates. As such, it’s essential to consider both the theoretical underpinnings and practical applications of scientific knowledge. A comprehensive understanding of the natural world must be grounded in both empirical evidence and sound philosophical reasoning. Ultimately, a symbiotic relationship between philosophy and natural science will be crucial for driving human knowledge and progress forward.

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.
