In a culture increasingly shaped by scientism—the belief that science alone provides truth—and moral relativism, the LabLearner Human Experience Series offers a crucial counterbalance. It demonstrates that faith and science are not adversaries but complementary paths to truth, each addressing unique and profound questions. By integrating rigorous scientific inquiry with theological reflection, the Human Experience Series equips students to navigate modern ethical challenges, such as those posed by artificial intelligence, cognitive enhancement technologies, and questions of human dignity. It also fosters intellectual humility and a sense of wonder, showing students that understanding the complexity of human experience can deepen, rather than diminish, their faith. It prepares the next generation to engage confidently and thoughtfully with a world that desperately needs moral clarity and spiritual depth.

We believe that Saint Thomas Aquinas would wholeheartedly support the new Human Experience Series as an embodiment of his principle that faith and reason are complementary paths to truth. Aquinas argued that reason, grounded in scientific inquiry, reveals the natural order created by God, while faith illuminates the divine purpose and moral framework of that order. By keeping science and religion distinct yet interconnected—science focusing on empirical understanding and religion addressing ethical and spiritual dimensions—this system reflects Aquinas’s vision of a harmonious relationship between natural and divine knowledge. It offers students a cohesive educational experience that respects the integrity of both disciplines while fostering a deeper appreciation for their unity in truth.
