159 Faith and science: “Though faith is above reason, there can never be any real discrepancy between faith and reason. Since the same God who reveals mysteries and infuses faith has bestowed the light of reason on the human mind, God cannot deny himself, nor can truth ever contradict truth.””Consequently, methodical research in all branches of knowledge, provided it is carried out in a truly scientific manner and does not override moral laws, can never conflict with the faith, because the things of the world and the things of faith derive from the same God. the humble and persevering investigator of the secrets of nature is being led, as it were, by the hand of God in spite of himself, for it is God, the conserver of all things, who made them what they are.”

That however does not in and of itself tell us if it is Genesis and Joshua that must be interpreted differently or Darwin and Galileo that must be dethroned from the position of “truly scientific research”.
Don’t be a fool, Darwin and Galileo are both creatures of God. Each has only part of the puzzle of the mystery of God’s plan. The Catholic Church endorsed the works of both men. Galileo’s pride got him into trouble with the Catholic Church, not his works. And Darwin himself said that evolution is a product of God.
