Odszedł wybitny genetyk o. Luis Archer SJ

in Informacja
Father Luis Archer passed away in Lisbon last October 8th . He was a pioneer on the genetics field and former President of the Ethics National Council for Sciences of Life. He was born at Oporto 85 years ago, being Jesuit along 64 years.
Luis Archer was a brilliant scientist and a great man of faith. He taught molecular genetics in 13 different universities being distinguished with the National Award 2004 in Bioethics. He also published 250 scientific articles about Bioethics and molecular genetics, coordinated four important works and wrote more than six books.
In a time where bioethics assumes an undeniable importance and claims for a fruitful dialogue involving people and knowledge, Father Luis Archer was a respected voice by the scientific community, specially during his Presidency of the Ethics National Council for Sciences of Life (1996-2001). The dialogue between science and faith became so natural and easy with him. In fact, everything is far from being so tangible and expressible as one is wishing us to believe…

Martin Rees – 2011 Templenton Prize Winner
013 lat

in Informacja
Martin J. Rees, a theoretical astrophysicist whose profound insights on the cosmos have provoked vital questions that speak to humanity’s highest hopes and worst fears, has won the 2011 Templeton Prize.
Photo: Cambridge University
Rees, Master of Trinity College, one of Cambridge University’s top academic posts, and former president of the Royal Society, the highest leadership position within British science, has spent decades investigating the implications of the big bang, the nature of black holes, events during the so-called ‘dark age’ of the early universe, and the mysterious explosions from galaxy centers known as gamma ray bursters.
In turn, the “big questions” he raises – such as “How large is physical reality?” – are reshaping crucial philosophical and theological considerations that strike at the core of life, fostering the spiritual progress that the Templeton Prize has long sought to recognize.
