Dr. Lunine is also visiting scientist at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory. He was raised Jewish, but is a convert to Catholicism. He helped found the Society of Catholic Scientists. Dr. Lunine enjoys discussing the intersection between faith and science when he stated: "There's a big difference between determining the structure of universe and how it evolved in time, vs. why is there existence, why is there anything. That's a question that some scientists confuse."
