THE KEY ROLE OF SCIENCE IN THE NEW EVANGELIZATION

Ateneo Pontificio Regina ApostolorumRome, May 2013

ThesisWe humans, with a soul,

may learn from recent advancements

regarding natural complexity

in order to find the peace of Christ

and share the good news in a novel way…

Pathways

Two options before us

two pathways ahead,

the one is the longest

the other straight.

We journey directlyor go by the legs,we follow intentlyor end up in pain.

By walking the flatness

or hiking the spikes,

we travel in lightness

or take serious frights.

The incentive is unity

and the call proportion,the key is

forgivenessand the goal true

notion.

In wandering wickedness

there is never fruit,but in ample humbleness

one encounters the root.

There is no excuse,o listen my friend:

it’s by the hypotenuse

or else by the legs.

There is no solutionbut walking

straight:the spikes of

disorderinsinuate the way.

It is true!

There is a best pathway,

the palpably smooth.

It’s by the hypotenuse

and walking in truth.

There is one solution,

I tell you the truth.

It’s by the hypotenuse

and walking in truth.

For any other pathway

will lead us astray.

It’s by the hypotenuse,

there is no other way.

O listen, you brother,

let’s brighten the day.

It’s by the hypotenuse,

there is no other way.

Otherwise, the devilshall pull by the legs.

It’s by the hypotenuseor else by the legs.

For such road is fractal:

as long as it gets.

It’s by the hypotenuseor else by the legs.

O let’s mend the broken,

growing to the root.

It’s by the hypotenuse,

the one that yields fruit.

Let’s keep equilibrium,avoiding dark soot.

It’s by the hypotenuse,

the one that yields fruit.

O listen, you brother,a counsel from

science.

It’s by the hypotenuse:the simplest

design.

I tell you integrating,don’t leave it to

chance.

It’s by the hypotenusethe simplest

design.
