Monsignor Georges Henri Joseph Édouard Lemaître (
lemaitre.ogg (help·info) 17 July 1894 – 20 June 1966) was a Belgian priest, astronomer and professor of physics at the Catholic University of Louvain. He sometimes used the title Abbé or Monseigneur. Lemaître proposed what became known as the Big Bang theory of the origin of the Universe, which he called his 'hypothesis of the primeval atom'.

NOW TO GIVE YOU HAPPINESS WHILE YOU ARE WALLOWING IN YOUR STUPIDIES HERE ARE THE LIST OF CATHOLIC SCIENTISTS SHOWING THAT OUR CONTRIBUTION TO THE FIELD OF SCIENCE IS GREATER THAN YOURS:
List of Roman Catholic cleric–scientists
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Many Roman Catholic clerics throughout history have made significant contributions to science. These cleric-scientists include such illustrious names as Nicolaus Copernicus, Gregor Mendel, Georges Lemaître, Albertus Magnus, Roger Bacon, Pierre Gassendi, Roger Joseph Boscovich, Marin Mersenne, Francesco Maria Grimaldi, Nicole Oresme, Jean Buridan, Robert Grosseteste, Christopher Clavius, Nicolas Steno, Athanasius Kircher, Giovanni Battista Riccioli, William of Ockham, and many others. Hundreds of others have made important contributions to science from the Middle Ages through the present day.
The Church has also produced thousands of lay scientists and
mathematicians, many of whom were the intellectual giants of their day.
These scientists include Galileo Galilei, Rene Descartes, Louis Pasteur, Blaise Pascal, André-Marie Ampère, Charles-Augustin de Coulomb, Pierre de Fermat, Antoine Laurent Lavoisier, Alessandro Volta, and countless others.
Indeed, one has to wonder why science developed in a largely Catholic milieu. This question is considered by Father Stanley Jaki in his book The Savior of Science. Jaki shows that Christian tradition identifies God as rational and orderly. He identifies the Scholastics of the High Middle Ages for their depersonalization of nature.
The Jesuits
in particular have made numerous significant contributions to the
development of science. For example, the Jesuits have dedicated
significant study to earthquakes, and seismology has come to be known as "the Jesuit science." [1]
This, however, is only one of many significant contributions. The
Jesuits have been described as "the single most important contributor to
experiemental physics in the seventeenth century." [2] According to Jonathan Wright in his book God's Soldiers, by the eighteenth century the Jesuits had
contributed to the development of pendulum clocks, pantographs,
barometers, reflecting telescopes and microscopes, to scientific fields
as various as magnetism, optics and electricity. They observed, in some
cases before anyone else, the colored bands on Jupiter’s surface, the
Andromeda nebula and Saturn’s rings. They theorized about the
circulation of the blood (independently of Harvey), the theoretical
possibility of flight, the way the moon effected the tides, and the
wave-like nature of light. Star maps of the southern hemisphere,
symbolic logic, flood-control measures on the Po and Adige rivers,
introducing plus and minus signs into Italian mathematics – all were
typical Jesuit achievements, and scientists as influential as Fermat,
Huygens, Leibniz and Newton were not alone in counting Jesuits among
their most prized correspondents. [3]
The contributions of Roman Catholic clerics to the study of astronomy are also remarkable. J.L. Heilbron in his book The Sun in the Church: Cathedrals as Solar Observatories
writes that "The Roman Catholic Church gave more financial aid and
support to the study of astronomy for over six centuries, from the
recovery of ancient learning during the late Middle Ages into the
Enlightenment, than any other, and, probably, all other, institutions." [4] The fact that thirty-five craters on the moon are named for Jesuit scientists and mathematicians [5] shows the Church's commitment to astronomy.
The Church's commitment to scientific studies continues to this day. The Pontifical Academy of Sciences
was founded in 1936 by Pope Pius XI. Its aim is to promote the progress
of the mathematical, physical and natural sciences and the study of
related epistemological problems. The academy holds a membership roster
of the most respected names in 20th century science, many of them Nobel
laureates. Also worth noting is the Vatican Observatory, which is an astronomical research and educational institution supported by the Holy See.
