Homeschool Alert >> Institute for Advanced Physics

I just watched a fascinating show on EWTN with a dialogue between Fr. Mitch Pacwa and Dr. Anthony Rizzi. Dr. Rizzi is from the Institute for Advanced Physics and his mission is to make science intelligible to Catholics and Christians. The Institute publishes books based on Newtonian Physics and has several books that add the "link" back to Christianity and away from the areligious theology of "scientism." Dr. Rizzi made much of the upcoming voyage to Mars and how the calendar to be used on this mission will be based on the calendar of the French Revolution --scientific-- as opposed to the Julian calendar of Columbus or the Gregorian calendar we know.

His Institute's effort is to begin to reacquaint Christianity with the observational scientific method before the Revolution. His books bespeaks of "what we know from observation" and advances from there. He said his 6-year-old son loves to play the software games that one can obtain by purchasing the book on the "store" site.

Please check over the IAP website. There will be a conference soon at Notre Dame, IN. He urges homeschoolers to check out his materials so that physics is based again on the science of Newton and not from the reformers of the French Revolution who constructed a 10-day week absent a day given to the Lord.
