10 Great Scientists Who Were Devoted Christians
In a world where science is always conflicting biblical teachings. One would think that all the prominent scientists we learned about while in school were atheists, but that's not the case.
There were numerous scientists who believed in God and in this video, we will be looking at 10 great Scientists who were committed Christians.
First is Michael Faraday. Michael Faraday discovered electromagnetic induction, he discovered the first experimental link between light and magnetism. He carried out the first room temperature liquefaction of a gas. He was a devout member and elder of the Sandemanian church
Second is Gregor Mendel. Gregor Mendel founded the science of Genetics, he identified many of the mathematical rules of heredity, he also identified recessive and dominant traits. He was an Augustinian priest in the Monastery of St. Thomas in Brunn, Czech Republic.
Third is Isaac Newton. Isaac Newton profoundly changed our understanding of nature with his law of universal gravitation and his laws of motion, he invented calculus; built the first ever reflecting telescope; showed that sunlight is made of all the colors of the rainbow. He was a passionate dissenting Protestant who spent more time on Bible study than math and physics.
Fourth is John Dalton. Dalton’s Atomic Theory is the basis of chemistry. He discovered Gay-Lussac’s Law relating temperature, volume, and pressure of gases, he also discovered the law of partial gas pressures. He was a faithful Quaker who live modestly.
Fifth is J. J. Thompson. J.J. Thompson discovered the electron, invented one of the most powerful tools in analytical chemistry, the mass spectrometer. He obtained the first evidence for isotopes of stable elements. He was a practicing Anglican who prayed and read the Bible daily.
Sixth is Blaise Pascal. Blaise Pascal devised Pascal’s triangle for the binomial coefficients and co-founded probability theory. He Invented the hydraulic press and the mechanical calculator. He was a Roman catholic theologian.
Seveth is Charles Babbage. Charles Babbage is the father of the computer, he invented the Analytical Engine, a Turing Complete computer in 1837 which was the first general purpose computer. He was a Protestant devotee who devoted a chapter of his autobiography to a discussion of his faith.
Eight is Arthur Compton. Artur Compton discovered that light can behave as a particle as well as a wave, he coined the word photon to describe a particle of light. He was a deacon in the Baptist church.
Nineth is James Clarke Maxwell. James Clarke Maxwell transformed our understanding of nature. His famous equations unified the forces of electricity and magnetism, indicating that light is an electromagnetic wave. His kinetic theory established that temperature is entirely dependent on the speeds of particles. He attended both Church of Scotland, his father's denomination and Episcopalian, his mother's denomination as a child. He was an evangelical protestant who learned the bible by heart at age 14.
Tenth is Ronald Fisher. Ronald Fisher unified evolution by natural selection with Mendel’s rules of inheritance, so defining the new field of population genetics. He invented experimental design; devised the statistical concept of variance. He was a devout Anglican who made religious broadcasts, and wrote religious articles.
Thanks for your time and God bless you richly.
