Space age'pioneer had keen religious faith By GEORGE W. CORNELL AP Religion Writer NEW YORK (AP) — Wemher von Braun, the “father of American space age” who died last month, was not only a front-line scientist but also the finder — and bearer —of a keen religious faith. “Prayer,” he once said, “is the most important work of man.” The German-trained physicist, who developed the rockets that carried the first Americans into space and to the moon, saw science as basically similar to religion. Just as religion requires faith,' he maintained that scien tific inquiry also requires faith in orderly processes in the universe, an intelligibility that is the basis of everything science learns from it. “The grandeur of the cosmos serves only to confirm my belief in the certainty of the Creator,” he told a sym posium in Philadelphia last fall on the essentials of a humane society. “It is one thing to accept the natural order as away of life, but the minute one asks why then again enters God and all His glory.” That “glory,” he contended, stands behind the still largely unknown realities of existence and makes up the mostly still hidden full truth on which science is totally dependent for the gradual bits it learns. “Science and religion are not antagonists,” he said. “On the contrary, they are sisters. While science tries to learn more about the creation, religion tries to better un derstand the Creator.” To him, it was incongruous for a scientist, whose very work is dependent on intelligent design in nature, not to recognize the creative intelligence behind it. He commented: “What strange rationale makes some physicists accept the inconceivable electron as real while refusing to accept the reality of God on the ground that they cannot conceive of Him?” Von Braun gave little attention to religion in his native Germany, where he frequently was at odds with the Hitler regime and once went to jail temporarily although he developed the ominous V 2 rockets used in the final stages of the war on Britain. But his nominal Christianity became intense com mitment after that experience and his coming to the United States where he became a citizen. He joined the Episcopal Church, as did his family. “It was the first time I really understood that religion was not just a cathedral inherited from the past or a quick prayer at the last minute,” he said. “Religion has to be backed up by discipline and effort.” Those qualities are essential to prayer, he said, noting that his own prayer life had advanced into a “new dimen ' sion.” Von Braun maintained that “religion, like science, is evolutionary, growing and changing in the light of further revelations from God.” He saw religion as an in dispensable partner of science. “Neither science nor technology has a moral dimen sion,” he said, adding that religion must “give us the moral and ethical guidance we so desperately need to protect us from that genie that science has allowed to escape from the bottle.” ' -m ■ jr —w i -wT • * I’ -I ’ t & 9 n < Anything goes ANYTHING — and it looks like almost everything — goes in Fred English’s personal celebration of Queen Elizabeth’s silver jubilee.
