The founders of modern science saw the handiwork of God in the universe.

Johannes Kepler, one of the fathers of modern astronomy and the discoverer of the laws of planetary motion: “I was merely thinking God’s thoughts after him. Since we astronomers are priests of the highest God in regard to the book of nature, it benefits us to be thoughtful, not of the glory of our minds, but rather, above all else, of the glory of God.”

Francis Bacon, father of the scientific method of inquiry: “It is true, that a little philosophy inclineth man’s mind to atheism, but depth in philosophy bringeth men’s minds about to religion; for while the mind of man looketh upon second causes scattered, it may sometimes rest in them, and go no further; but when it beholdeth the chain of them confederate, and linked together, it must needs fly to Providence and Deity” (Of Atheism)

Blaise Pascal, inventor of the barometer and revolutionary thinker in the field of mathematics: “Faith tells us what the senses cannot, but it is not contrary to their findings. It simply transcends, without contradicting them.”

Isaac Newton, discoverer of the law of gravity: “This most beautiful system of the sun, planets, and comets, could only proceed from the counsel and dominion of an intelligent and powerful Being. ... Atheism is so senseless. When I look at the solar system, I see the earth at the right distance from the sun to receive the proper amounts of heat and light. This did not happen by chance” (Principia).

Robert Boyle, the father of modern chemistry: “The vastness, beauty, orderliness, of the heavenly bodies, the excellent structure of animals and plants; and the other phenomena of nature justly induce an intelligent and unprejudiced observer to conclude a supremely powerful, just, and good author” (Works, vol. IV, p. 25).

Michael Faraday, one of the fathers of modern physics: “... the Christian who is taught of God ... finds his guide in the Word of God ... and looks for no assurance beyond what the Word can give Him. ... The Christian religion is a revelation, and that revelation is the Word of God ... No revival and no temporal teaching comes between it and him. He who is taught of the Holy Spirit needs no crowd and no revival to teach him; if he stand alone he is fully taught” (Selected Exhortations Delivered to Various Churches of Christ by the Late Michael Faraday, Dundee: John Leng and Co., 1910).

Faraday said, “The Creator governs his material works by definite laws resulting from the forces impressed on matter,” and it was this presupposition and Faraday’s desire to find these laws that directed his research. Far from limiting or hindering his scientific inquiry, Faraday’s faith in God and the Bible drove his research. “He sought the unifying laws relating the forces of the world, and was highly successful in respect of electricity, magnetism, and light” (I.H. Hutchinson, “Michael Faraday: Scientist and Nonconformist”).

James Clerk Maxwell, another of the fathers of modern physics, said, “I believe, with the Westminster Divines and their predecessors ad Infinitum, that ‘Man's chief end is to glorify God and to enjoy him for ever’” (Lewis Campbell and William Garnet, The life of James Clerk Maxwell, 1882). In his final illness, Maxwell confirmed “his firm and undoubting faith in the Incarnation and all its results; in the full sufficiency of the Atonement; in the work of the Holy Spirit. He had gauged and fathomed all the schemes and systems of philosophy, and had found them utterly empty and unsatisfying--‘unworkable’ was his own word about them--and he turned with simple faith to the Gospel of the Saviour” (Ibid.).

There are still thousands of scientists who disagree with the Darwinian view of evolution. Among these are Christian “young earth” creationists, Christian “old earth” creationists, non-Christian theistic evolutionists, and those who believe in an undefined intelligent designer.

In 1979, Science Digest reported that “scientists who utterly reject evolution may be one of our fastest-growing controversial minorities,” and stated that, “Many of the scientists supporting this position hold impressive credentials in science” (Larry Hatfield, “Educators Against Darwin,” Science Digest Special, Winter 1979, pp. 94-96).

According to recent research, there are an estimated 113,000 Darwin skeptic scientists and academics in the United States alone (Neil Gross and Solon Simmons, How Religious Are America’s College and University Professors?, Working paper Harvard University, Oct. 5, 2006).

In the American public at large, a Gallup poll in 2012 found that 46% are young-earth creationists and 32% adhere to some form of God-guided or theistic evolution, while only 15% adhere to Darwinian naturalistic evolution. Among those with post graduate degrees, 25% believe in young-earth creation, 29% hold to naturalistic evolution, and 42% hold to some sort of theistic evolution.

A 2006 survey in Israel by the Samuel Neaman Institute found that 59% of the Jewish population believe that man was created by God as described in the Torah, which is the first five books of the Hebrew Scripture. By the finding of this survey, only 28% of Israelis believe in evolution.

Jewish organizations that hold to creation include the National Conference of Synagogue Youth and the Association of Orthodox Jewish Scientists. Jewish scientists with Ph.D.s who hold to creation include Morris Goldman, parasitologist; Edward Simon, professor of biology at Purdue University; Nathan Aviezer, physics; Lee Spetner, Ph.D. from MIT and former biophysicist at Johns Hopkins University; Gerald Schroeder, Ph.D. from MIT; Yaacov Hanoka, Ph.D. in solid state physics; Allan Sandage, Ph.D. from Cal Tech; and Mortimer Adler, editor of Great Books of the Western World and considered by many to be “one of the greatest thinkers in history.”

Many other Jewish Ph.D.s are Darwin doubters. These include Paul Ehrlich, Nobel Laureate; Ernst Chain, one of the principal discoverers of antibiotics; Arno Penzias, astrophysicist Nobel Laureate; and David Berlinski, American educator and author.

Dr. Jerry Bergman has compiled a list of 3,000 “Darwin Skeptics,” including about a dozen Nobel Prize winners. See www.rae.org/pdf/darwinskeptics.pdf

Bergman has a private list of about 1,000 names of persons who do not want their names on a public list “because of real concerns over possible retaliation or harm to their careers.”

Bergman says, “I estimate that, if I had the time and resources, I could easily complete a list of over 10,000 names” (“Darwin Skeptics: A Select List of Science Academics, Scientists, and Scholars Who Are Skeptical of Darwinism,” Aug. 24, 2014).

This is a result of the Darwinists who act like howler monkeys and Nazi SS troopers to try to stomp out every vestige of “creationism” from the field of science.

The Discovery Institute has published “A Scientific Dissent from Darwinism” -- www.discovery.org. On the front page is the following quotation from David Berlinski, Ph.D., Philosophy, Princeton University: “Darwin’s theory of evolution is the great white elephant of contemporary thought. It is large, almost completely useless, and the object of superstitious awe.”

As of April 2014, the list had been signed by about 840 scientists who agree with the following statement:

“We are skeptical of claims for the ability of random mutation and natural selection to account for the complexity of life. Careful examination of the evidence for Darwinian theory should be encouraged.”

Of course, even if NO scientist disputed evolution, this does not mean it is correct. The Bible says, “Let God be true, but every man a liar” (Romans 3:4); and Jesus said, “I thank thee, O Father, Lord of heaven and earth, because thou hast hid these things from the wise and prudent, and hast revealed them unto babes” (Matthew 11:25).

But it is a fact that thousands of men and women with higher degrees reject evolution.

The Creation Research Society membership consists of more than 600 men and women who hold advanced degrees and are committed to biblical creationism.

The Korea Association of Creation Research membership includes 450 scientists, 150 of them with Ph.D.s. The President of KACR is Young-Gil Kim, Ph.D. in material science and engineering. For 15 years he was a professor with the Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology. He is the inventor of important high-tech alloys. In 1995, he founded Handong Global University with the objective of integrating biotechnology and mechatronics.

There is a growing creationism and intelligent design movement in Brazil and elsewhere.

Our book Scientists Who Believe the Bible contains the testimonies of 91 scientists, most of whom have earned doctorates, who believe in a literal six-day creation. It is available as a free eBook and also in a print edition from www.wayoflife.org.

Jesus is Lord and Savior. There is no substitute.

@DIABLISS
The apostles died for spreading the word of a religion that was not ok'd by the Romans..
Exactly! Why did they risk the same death as Jesus? Because they had seen him heal the sick, raise the dead, and go up into the clouds after being killed. They were not convinced that Jesus was God in the flesh at first, but after they witnessed all that he did, they were willing to spread the good news even unto death.
Entwistle · 56-60, M
@Carazaa I've seen David Blain and David Copperfield do illusions.
@Carazaa we have been in the clouds often and there is nothing mystical about it. God is not up there and neither is Jesus. and people go along with anything that is put in front of them that they deem as cool or to their liking. that is why people do school shootings and bomb public events and go along with cult leaders.

Excellent piece! When one contemplates the simplest things, it's obvious it can't be by random chance. Example: Human skin as a Massage Therapist for nearly 30 years, I've seen a lot of it. Hydrophobic on the outside, hydrophilic on the inside, able to self-repair, and self-regulate its temperature!!! Any other way and we would not be alive. Humans could not have survived dozens of generations if this were left to random chance. The odds of a cell- ONE CELL- being created from "primordial ooze" (let alone a trillion-cell being) would be on the order of the following: take 100 Scrabble games, all the boards and all the pieces for each board. Mix them all up. Dump them from an airplane on the ground. 1. All boards must land face up. 2. All pieces must find their originating board AND land face up and right-side-up-reading. 3. ALL the pieces for each board, will ALL form VALID words, perfectly intersected, and ALL continuous. 4. No pieces remaining unused. 5. No unconnected maverick words. THOSE are the odds of making one cell from "nothing". Impossible rational people will say without supernatural power. Exactly true, and exactly the point! Amen!

@Massageman Thank you!🙏

Anybody born in the last forty years? BTW, Evolution is demonstrated every day in the field of genetics. It is no more subject to doubt than gravity. Endogenous Retro Viruses demonstrate beyond any realistic doubt that humans and chimps had a common ancestor that was neither human nor chimp.

You’re desperately grasping at a silly superstition nor different in any significant way from astrology.
redredred · M
@LadyGrace your fairy tale book is riddled with factual errors and it proves nothing. We are not descendent from a single couple, if we were the accumulation of dangerous mutations from generations of inbreeding would leave us unable to survive. Your silly fairy tale book actually provides two Eve origin stories so even deluded believers have to accept one and recognize the other as an error.
LadyGrace · 70-79
@redredred yada yada yada that's what you always say you can never prove it. Haha
redredred · M
@LadyGrace I don’t have to prove anything. I’m not the one asserting that magical, invisible forces are directing everything, performing miracles, walking on water and rising from the dead. Care to provide even traffic-court level proof for any of those bullshit stories?
calicuz · 56-60, M
Many of us don't denounce God, but the religion associated with God or what that religion has become over the last 2000 years.
I for one do not follow organized religion. It has become a multi billion dollar industry that can't be trusted to lead the people or be trusted to tell the truth.
The Catholic Church is guilty of sweeping child sexual abuse under the rug.
How can anyone expect the non believer to trust Christian leaders when they exempt themselves from punishment from God, nor take action on those who break the law.

@Justenjoyit

Yeah, I'm still worn out from that one.🤣

@calicuz I open minded to everything I am a man of no religion.

@Justenjoyit

Yes, like the song says "Nobody's right, till somebody's wrong"
SW-User
You know I like you @Carazaa and respect your religion. But, believing in "the God of the Bible and divine creation" is not the same as believing in "the Biblical account of creation" as opposed to evolution or other scientific models of how the world came to be.
LadyGrace · 70-79
@Carazaa Amen sister!
SW-User
@LadyGrace Not all the people on this list are believers in that sense.
LadyGrace · 70-79
@SW-User Right.
Revelation 4:11 - "You are worthy, Jehovah our God, to receive the glory and the honor and the power, because You CREATED ALL THINGS and because of Your will they came into existence and were CREATED."

I love this treasure trove of great information. Wonderful read. And thank you for sharing this.
Carazaa · F
@seotelkniwt Yes so true, thank you so much!🙏
@Carazaa Nooo, thank you for taking the time to research this eye-opening information. I will share it with my family and those whom I talk to in the field service ministry.
SW-User
Thanks for posting this piece. The concern that I have is this; Were these people “Christian “ enough to meet the 21st century standards.
For example, some of these scientists were Anglicans. While conservative now in the modern era, this form of Christianity allowed for debate.


Newton deconstructed the Trinity, for example.

For many their faith was a private matter. There were no mega churches , with worship leaders etc.

Their work didn’t say god did [x].

I don’t have the time in the day to comb through this list. What I did not see is a name with S.J. Behind it.
The Jesuit order was a driving force in many scientific fields.

They aren’t “Christian “ enough?

Again, thanks for the post. I doubt though that Newton or Rutherford would be welcome in your church.
Carazaa · F
@SW-User True science points to God because he is the creator.
SW-User
@Carazaa that’s a pretty story, but not at all true.
Carazaa · F
Yes it is true!
LadyGrace · 70-79
This is brilliant, praise the Lord!
AbbySvenz · F
840? That’s all?
Carazaa · F
@AbbySvenz Lots of Nobel prize winners too!
Whodunnit · M
Just goes to show... Even famous scientists can be wrong.
Whodunnit · M
@Carazaa Even geniuses are human and as such are subject to indoctrination from an early age.
Carazaa · F
@Whodunnit Science will lead to God. More hard scientists are Theists than soft scientists.
@Whodunnit but only once they hold a world view someone doesn't like. As long as everyone likes what they say, they are infallible
any scientist would never believe in the Bible, except that maybe they existed as humans. the mystical crap is just that. they are legends about things that never occurred, or occurred but are now scientifically explained. for example where Lot and his wife ran away from volcanic lava and she stupidly stopped to turn around and look. scientists discovered that a volcano had erupted there. burning bushes exit and it is a natural occurrence. the sea does part where Moses walked and it happened all the time. science not mysticism.
Carazaa · F
@DIABLISS The world was created; any smart person realizes that!
@Carazaa smart people don't believe in fairy tales. the world is a scientific miracle, not a religious one.
Carazaa · F
@DIABLISS Absolutely correct 🙏
Spotpot · 41-45, M
The prosperity gospel is the devils gospel goes against everything Jesus taught its materialist greed.
Carazaa · F
@Spotpot
Ofcourse some pastors are not born again at all and just want money. But I believe that if we are born again our entire life, belongs to God. If we give him our all and that includes 10 % first of our time and money, he will bless us!
Malachi 3:10
Bring the whole tithe into the storehouse, that there may be food in my house. Test me in this,” says the Lord Almighty, “and see if I will not throw open the floodgates of heaven and pour out so much blessing that there will not be room enough to store it.
black4white · 56-60, M
Such BS … that’s all
Carazaa · F
@black4white You wish!
black4white · 56-60, M
@black4white I think that people are too limited to have completely made it up. I believe that Lucifero and Yahweh were actually humans and the stories people tell make them out to be something else.
