The first response is incorrect. The Catholic Church did not necessarily view science as a threat, but it did have conflicts with certain scientific theories or ideas that seemed to contradict Church teachings.
The correct answer is the third response: Deists believed that science and religion had to remain separate, while the Catholic Church promoted merging the two. The Catholic Church saw science as a way for people to better understand and appreciate the divine, and actively promoted the study of natural philosophy and other scientific pursuits. However, the Church also placed certain limitations on scientific inquiry if it contradicted established religious beliefs. Deists, on the other hand, believed in a distant, non-interventionist deity and did not see a need to merge science and religion. They often rejected religious dogma and relied on reason and observation, including scientific study, to understand the natural world.
