Lesson Thirty-Two of Aquinas 101, with Fr Thomas Davenport, OP, PhD, Asst Professor of Physics, Providence College.
Is nature inherently random, fundamentally disordered, and simply unintelligible? Or, can order arise from apparent randomness and chaos in the natural world? Where does God fit in? Fr. Thomas Davenport, O.P., a Dominican friar from the Province of St. Joseph, uses his extensive background in physics to explain how the way order seems to arise out of randomness in the natural world is almost always a sign of a deeper order and structure that we don’t always notice at first.

Comments are subject to deletion if they are not germane. I have no problem with a bit of colourful language, but blasphemy or depraved profanity will not be allowed. Attacks on the Catholic Faith will not be tolerated. Comments will be deleted that are republican (Yanks! Note the lower case 'r'!), attacks on the legitimacy of Pope Francis as the Vicar of Christ (I know he's a material heretic and a Protector of Perverts, and I definitely want him gone yesterday! However, he is Pope, and I pray for him every day.), the legitimacy of the House of Windsor or of the claims of the Elder Line of the House of France, or attacks on the legitimacy of any of the currently ruling Houses of Europe.
