As science becomes more aware of the world around us we can come to better appreciate the wonders of God and understand how God works the wonders of the world. Darwin, Huxley, Kepler, and Bacon, to name a few, accepted science alongside of theology. The scientific revolution has made us more aware of our world, the chemistry that makes it happen, and how to improve the quality of our lives through use of our advances. It is reason that drives our advances in the sciences, but it is our very faith in those advances that keep us moving ahead. Aquinas saw faith and reason as not inherently antithetical.
Reason can never ultimately and finally grasp Being according to Aquinas.
We can come to better understand Being through endeavors such as experimentation, but that is the most of it. With Aquinas, faith becomes plausible when one ceases to know. It is because of this that the goal of understanding Being is common to both faith and reason. To seek the truth through experimentation is the responsibility of science and to always strive to better understand that there is more than we have empirically discovered is the responsibility of faith. It is now the twentieth century and we are headed into a new millennium.
