I came across this excellent essay about Christianity and Science:
http://www.catholicworldreport.com/2017/08/21/how-far-will-atheists-go-to-deny-the-christian-birth-of-science/
It's by Stacy A. Trasancos, who holds a PhD in Chemistry and a MA in Dogmatic Theology, and who teaches chemistry and physics at Kolbe Academy and science and theology courses at Holy Apostles and Seton Hall University. Trasancos is the author of Science Was Born of Christianity: The Teaching of Fr. Stanley L. Jaki and Particles of Faith: A Catholic Guide to Navigating Science.
She's writing in answer to Richard Carrier, a historian, author, and speaker, and an atheist or agnostic who didn't do his homework on Trasancos or the late Fr. Stanley L. Jaki, O.S.B. (1924 to 2009), a theologian, physicist, and philosopher, and subject of her intense study. "She knows her stuff" and I highly recommend this article. Fr. Jaki is an interest of mine, as well, though I am no scholar of him. He was Hungarian, born in Győr, actually. In Magyar, his name is "Jáki Szaniszló László"
Fr. Jaki (pronounced "Yah-ki") authored more than two dozen books on the subject of Catholicism and Science. He "knew his stuff" too.
Here are two links related to him: http://www.sljaki.com/ and https://home.isi.org/about/people/2995.
