Just a reminder that we have the Big Bang theory (not the TV show) because Georges Lemaitre, an astronomer and Catholic priest, proposed it after studying the expansion of the universe. There was great resistance from other astronomers (e.g., Sir Fred Hoyle) and physicists because the theory seemed to be too “Genesis-like,” but based on the evidence we have now, it appears to be how things started.

The Vatican also has an astronomical observatory located in southeastern Arizona on Mount Graham (it’s part of a larger consortium of observatories). They’re doing serious research out there, not whatever Ken Ham thinks he’s doing out at the Creation “Museum.”
