This
beautifully produced European documentary tells the story of Gregor
Mendel, a scientist, Catholic priest and scholar renowned as the
founder of genetics and discoverer of the laws of inheritance. He was
also an astute observer of the sky and the stars, all this as a monk
and abbot of a Augustinian monastery. In the 19th century, he was
ahead of the discovery of DNA and the human genome, and showed that
science and faith go hand in hand to understand Creation. Some called
him "the gardener of God". Did not the resurrected Jesus
himself appear as a gardener?
“From
Copernicus to Mendel, from Albert the Great to Pascal, from Galileo
to Marconi, the history of the Church and the history of the sciences
clearly show us that there is a scientific culture rooted in
Christianity. It can be said, in fact, that research, by exploring
the greatest and the smallest, contributes to the glory of God which
is reflected in every part of the universe.”
