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.

Carazaa · F

@graphite AMEN!🙏

DIABLISS

@graphite Jesus is an amalgam. Many Jesuses existed back then but they claim there was only one...and we don't even celebrate his real birthday. so i hardly believe any of the rest of it.

Carazaa · F

@DIABLISS Only one rose from the dead Infront of all the apostles! Only one is coming back in the clouds to judge the world!

DIABLISS

@Carazaa He didn't return in front of anyone. if you read about the bible you will find that people who couldn't have been there say they were. that is the weak and dishonest way that most people behave. and why would Jesus come back to judge us? that is stupid. there were thousands of apostles. how could they all see that. the twelve apostles is a painting...not reality. just like Dante's inferno etc. idiots think that because someone wrote about it or painted a picture that this makes it fact.

Carazaa · F

@DIABLISS
I don't read about the Bible! I read Gods word myself!

Jesus, God in the flesh, rose to prove he is risen, and he will come back to judge the living and the dead. Why? Because he is just. How do we know it happened, because all the apostles would not be beheaded and killed for witnessing if it didn't happen! That's how we know. God saved me so I know him and I know this is true.

Acts 1
1 The former treatise have I made, O Theophilus, of all that Jesus began both to do and teach,

2 Until the day in which he was taken up, after that he through the Holy Ghost had given commandments unto the apostles whom he had chosen:

3 To whom also he shewed himself alive after his passion by many infallible proofs, being seen of them forty days, and speaking of the things pertaining to the kingdom of God:

4 And, being assembled together with them, commanded them that they should not depart from Jerusalem, but wait for the promise of the Father, which, saith he, ye have heard of me.

5 For John truly baptized with water; but ye shall be baptized with the Holy Ghost not many days hence.

6 When they therefore were come together, they asked of him, saying, Lord, wilt thou at this time restore again the kingdom to Israel?

7 And he said unto them, It is not for you to know the times or the seasons, which the Father hath put in his own power.

8 But ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you: and ye shall be witnesses unto me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judaea, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth.

9 And when he had spoken these things, while they beheld, he was taken up; and a cloud received him out of their sight.

10 And while they looked stedfastly toward heaven as he went up, behold, two men stood by them in white apparel;

11 Which also said, Ye men of Galilee, why stand ye gazing up into heaven? this same Jesus, which is taken up from you into heaven, shall so come in like manner as ye have seen him go into heaven.

12 Then returned they unto Jerusalem from the mount called Olivet, which is from Jerusalem a sabbath day's journey.

13 And when they were come in, they went up into an upper room, where abode both Peter, and James, and John, and Andrew, Philip, and Thomas, Bartholomew, and Matthew, James the son of Alphaeus, and Simon Zelotes, and Judas the brother of James.

14 These all continued with one accord in prayer and supplication, with the women, and Mary the mother of Jesus, and with his brethren.

15 And in those days Peter stood up in the midst of the disciples, and said, (the number of names together were about an hundred and twenty,)

16 Men and brethren, this scripture must needs have been fulfilled, which the Holy Ghost by the mouth of David spake before concerning Judas, which was guide to them that took Jesus.

17 For he was numbered with us, and had obtained part of this ministry.

18 Now this man purchased a field with the reward of iniquity; and falling headlong, he burst asunder in the midst, and all his bowels gushed out.

19 And it was known unto all the dwellers at Jerusalem; insomuch as that field is called in their proper tongue, Aceldama, that is to say, The field of blood.

20 For it is written in the book of Psalms, Let his habitation be desolate, and let no man dwell therein: and his bishoprick let another take.

21 Wherefore of these men which have companied with us all the time that the Lord Jesus went in and out among us,

22 Beginning from the baptism of John, unto that same day that he was taken up from us, must one be ordained to be a witness with us of his resurrection.

DIABLISS

@Carazaa this is romantic poetic gibberish written by men who were going into the caves breathing noxious fumes to "get closer to God". They were stoned. And why would people say crap about the clouds? we have been in the clouds and beyond. No God what so ever. And it wasn't the word of God. why would a god talk to us? why would Jesus judge us? And all of the bits you quoted have nothing to do with what we were talking about. i read the Bible twice and some children's version and then i read about the bible and Jesus and i watch the documentaries on his life. That is real. and do you seriously not read anything but the Bible? that is sick

Carazaa · F

@DIABLISS
Why would Jesus judge us? Because we sin and are all headed for eternal judgment.
Why would Jesus come down from heaven and talk to us? To prove he is God's Son and will take our sins on his own shoulders, so we don't have to die but we can live in heaven with him forever.
Why would he do that? Because he loves you?
Why would I write about it? Because I love you!

DIABLISS

@Carazaa Jesus has no reason to judge anyone. that is stupid.

Jesus doesn't need to come down to us if we are going to him....and you can't take someone else's sins. they are your own doing.

and we have to die in order to go to your fictitious heaven so we won't actually be living at the time we are in Heaven.

Jesus never met me. why would he love me? You never met me so you don't love me either.

i tried to follow Jesus' message because i believed in the sentiment. Problem is, everyone else i met was completely insane and evil. i was so stupid, i thought it was some cross i had to bare. i was always nicer kinder and smarter than most people i have met. but the monsters kept coming and i couldn't accomplish what i was convinced i was here for...to end homelessness. if i had had the chance and was not ruined by psychopaths, i would have made it my reason for living. well, it is too late now. no one listens to me about anything. and i am usually right...so i recently gave up. I don't believe in God and i think that Jesus was some brilliant but misguided soul like myself. Amen

Carazaa · F

@DIABLISS

i was always nicer kinder and smarter than most people i have met. but the monsters kept coming

Yes, always be kind to people, and help them. But always attend to your own needs and then help others. God supplies all our needs, and he expects you to take good care of yourself.

Jesus was not someone who just helped people like we all do. He said who do you think I am? He proved that he could forgive sins.
He said only God can forgive sins, and what is easier to say, " I forgive your sins or take up your bed and walk to a lame man?" Then he said take your bed and walk to a man who had been an invalid his whole life. He proved he can forgive sins.

I for one believe that he died for humanity and rose from the dead , because the apostles were willing to die and did die for witnessing what they had seen.

Many people know God and their lives have been changed like mine. God will help you if you put Jesus first and follow him wherever he wants you to go.

DIABLISS

@Carazaa when i was young i automatically believed in God and whatever because my life was so horrendous. after awhile there is no reason to believe that there is a purpose and that we are all in this together. I have never done anything to anyone in my life. i was treated like garbage for no reason and still have nothing. people are evil beings that jump on the bandwagon to kick someone who is already down because they like it.
I have never met anyone like me. i wanted to help heal the world but now i realize that the only left to do is wait until the world ends because that is what the human race deserves. it doesn't matter how you think we came to be...these people came here and destroyed everything that was available and now everyone is at war or getting ready to...the homeless are beginning to outnumber the housed...drugs are prevalent everywhere...we let a pandemic destroy our way of life...we let terrorists destroy our lives...people are murdering their children like it is their right to do so. Where is your Jesus now?

Carazaa · F

@DIABLISS

Where is Jesus now?
This is what he said to Peter when he asked about end times...

Matthew 24:12
11"And many false prophets shall rise and shall deceive many. And because iniquity shall abound, the love of many shall wax cold. But he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved. 14And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations; and then shall the end come."

DIABLISS

@Carazaa that is not an answer in the least. Why is it when you ask a religious person a straight question, they give you scripture? because they don't have any clue about what an answer might be. And people didn't talk like that even back then. it makes me laugh to think that people actually think that during Shakespeare's time that they spoke like that....well, they didn't.

Carazaa · F

@DIABLISS You asked where is Jesus now when the world is cold and there are so many problems? I answered that Jesus told us the signs of the last generation, and we are it. He knew the future because he is God.

DIABLISS

@Carazaa @Carazaa when did Jesus become God? this is some new fangled idea that makes no sense and it wasn't true twenty years ago.

Carazaa · F

@DIABLISS

Read What Jesus said carefully.

Matthew 9

Jesus Forgives and Heals a Paralyzed Man
9 Jesus stepped into a boat, crossed over and came to his own town. 2 Some men brought to him a paralyzed man, lying on a mat. When Jesus saw their faith, he said to the man, “Take heart, son; your sins are forgiven.”

3 At this, some of the teachers of the law said to themselves, “This fellow is blaspheming!”

4 Knowing their thoughts, Jesus said,
“Why do you entertain evil thoughts in your hearts? 5 Which is easier: to say, ‘Your sins are forgiven,’ or to say, ‘Get up and walk’? 6 But I want you to know that the Son of Man has authority on earth to forgive sins.” So he said to the paralyzed man, “Get up, take your mat and go home.” 7 Then the man got up and went home. 8 When the crowd saw this, they were filled with awe; and they praised God, who had given such authority to man.

Carazaa · F

@DIABLISS

The Bible is very clear that Jesus created ALL things.

John 1

The Word Became Flesh
1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. 2 He was with God in the beginning. 3 Through him all things were made; without him nothing was made that has been made. 4 In him was life, and that life was the light of all mankind. 5 The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome[a] it.

6 There was a man sent from God whose name was John. 7 He came as a witness to testify concerning that light, so that through him all might believe. 8 He himself was not the light; he came only as a witness to the light.

9 The true light that gives light to everyone was coming into the world. 10 He was in the world, and though the world was made through him, the world did not recognize him. 11 He came to that which was his own, but his own did not receive him. 12 Yet to all who did receive him, to those who believed in his name, he gave the right to become children of God— 13 children born not of natural descent, nor of human decision or a husband’s will, but born of God.

14 The Word became flesh and made his dwelling among us. We have seen his glory, the glory of the one and only Son, who came from the Father, full of grace and truth.

DIABLISS

@Carazaa Jesus came later. and no he was not the son of God....what is he Thor? He was born to very poor Jewish people and he decided to start a new religion because he thought they should be kind and open minded and actually religious...ya know because they are supposed to be religious.

graphite · 61-69, M

@Carazaa Notice how the supposed disbelievers seem determined to convince the entire world that they are correct (when they are not)?

DIABLISS

@graphite you both make me so sad. i read alot about the Bible and i read the Bible. it is just a book

graphite · 61-69, M

@DIABLISS If you're so sad, here's something to cheer you up: “For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.” John 3:16 woo hoo!!!

Carazaa · F

@DIABLISS Jesus proved he is God to us. You need to read the passages again above. And the apostles died a torturous death because they witnessed what they saw, Jesus heal the sick and raise the dead!

DIABLISS

@Carazaa the apostles died for spreading the word of a religion that was not ok'd by the Romans...period. if you disagree with politics or religion in those days....dead. i have a rule where i don't talk to crazy people for this long so i am not going to answer any more unless you say something sane

Carazaa · F

@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.

DIABLISS

@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.
