New Scientist featured an interview with Jose Funes, a Catholic Priest who happens to run the Vatican Observatory. I would say that I agree with his positions in the interview. There are not two truths, scientific or religious. When we find an apparent conflict between science and religion, it probably stems from the fact that we, humans, are flawed. We can make mistakes interpreting scientific data or religious statements.
Also, here is the link to The Vatican Observatory. The Catholic Church and science have a long history with each other- not always for the best. But they seem to be getting better, coming a long way since Galileo. The last two Popes have seemed interested in scientific endeavors and how they relate to religion.
