In a world where so many people place science and religion at odds with one another, here at O.L.A., we want to show the bridge between the two. In 1996, St. Pope John Paul II said that in terms of faith and science, true science and true religion were compatible because “We know that truth does not contradict the truth.” O.L.A. strives to use these experiences and testimonies of our guests to help our students understand that science can in fact, enhance our faith, and help us grow a deeper love, appreciation, and understanding for God’s creation.
