Cool list of scientists who believed in God. Wonder why so many of the commenters seem to get so animated about this?

Mass belief in anything is not validation of the belief. Nor can beliefs by society appointed authority figures be looked upon as ultimate truths. Read, learn about, and listen to others’ views, but in the end, rely on your own brain.

hey,
I don’t think this sight in meant to be a case for believing in a personal God. A lot of people use the excuse that they are scientifically minded to brush aside the idea that there is a God so they don’t have to worry about it. However, this site, by highlighting some of the most scientifically minded or intelligent people there have been (even if they weren’t actually called scientists).

Also. people have said there is no need for God to fit into science. True, God doesn’t need science to prove his existence. However, as Jesus is the Lord, and as God is real, he does fit into science. Or, more appropriately, science fits into him.

There is no point ignoring the facts of science, when they truly are fact but rather seeing how they fit in with the idea of God. You wont be disappointed.

Trying to convince an unbeliever that God should be merged into their worldview is a little like reading poetry to a dog, or trying to describe colors to a man born blind. They will never, ever get it. They can’t. Sin, arrogance, and pride has blinded them and can only be overcome by a personal move of the Holy Spirit to open their spiritual eyes. If you continue trying to reason them into faith you can expect to continue receiving derision, scorn, and laughter……just as you would from a jungle pygmy when trying to explain that men have walked on the moon. Until they have seen it for themselves (which is the Holy Spirit’s job) they will think you are a total fool for what you believe.

The point of this article, it seems to me, isn’t to prove the existence of God but rather it seeks to stand against the currently common and popular notion that science and belief in God are incompatible. Nothing less, nothing more. Can that point be accepted?

That they did not all share a common theology means nothing here.The men listed here are presented to show that one can have a valid scientific mind, an inquiring mind, honest, and a worthwhile scientist, and also believe in God. That might seem strange or even abhorrent to some, but never the less it offers the significant evidence of men who were are the cutting edges of their fields, who made deep and significant contributions to scientific method or knowledge, and who showed a harmony between that science and their faith. In some cases even that the excellence of, and motivation for, their science arose out of their faith. That is all this article seeks to show. It is worthy, I think, of at least some honest consideration.

As for those who would simply seek to dismiss this whole thing out of hand alleging that these men were either crazy, dim or greatly ignorant I would ask you to at least consider the possibility that they were not. Then from there what can you find as evidence as to whether these men were deficient in some way (which prevented their realisation of the truth of atheism) or that they were not and it must be accepted that it is possible for a happy, rational, scientifically minded human to also maintain a spiritual dimension to their view of life and the universe.

I wonder if the notion that science is married to atheism is exalted by many today because some do not want to believe in or accept the possibility of the existence of a God and science seems to offer the best alternate understanding of the universe where that dream can be a reality.
