Can anyone name any great scientists who believed in the Chistian god...?

Answer 1

Nicholas Copernicus:Who put forward the first mathematically based system of planets going around the sun.

Sir Francis Bacon :Who is known for establishing the scientific method of inquiry based on experimentation and inductive reasoning.

Johannes Kepler :He established the laws of planetary motion about the sun.

Galileo Galilei:Astronomer.

Rene Descartes:Mathematician, scientist and philosopher who has been called the father of modern philosophy.

Isaac Newton: Formulated Newton's Laws of Motion,among other achievments.

Robert Boyle:Formulated Boyle's Law

Michael Faraday:Pioneer of electricity and magnetism.

Gregor Mendel:The first to lay the mathematical foundations of genetics.

William Thomson Kelvin:Helped to lay the foundations of modern physics.

Max Planck :Ever heard of Quantom Theory ? Planck thought it up.

By the way,eri,about Albert Einstein :He was never a Christian,but here is one of his quotes:"I believe in Spinoza's God who reveals himself in the orderly harmony of what exists, not in a God who concerns himself with fates and actions of human beings."

So,although he wasn't a Christian,or even religous,he did believe in a god.He would probably be described as a deist or agnostic,but he wasn't an atheist.

Answer 2

Newton, yes. Darwin, not so much - he rejected Christianity. Einstein - absolutely not. He wrote entire articles and books about how he wasn't religious, so saying he was is quite an insult to the man.

Try Francis Collins, or James Clerk Maxwell, or Michael Faraday. All great envangelical scientists. However, it's harder to find them today, since in today's society science and religion are often at odds. 97% of the American Academy of Science are atheists, as am I (I'm a physicist).

Edit: Direct quotes from Einstein about religion:

I came — though the child of entirely irreligious (Jewish) parents — to a deep religiousness, which, however, reached an abrupt end at the age of twelve.[39]
I do not think that it is necessarily the case that science and religion are natural opposites. In fact, I think that there is a very close connection between the two. Further, I think that science without religion is lame and, conversely, that religion without science is blind. Both are important and should work hand-in-hand.[40]
A Jew who sheds his faith along the way, or who even picks up a different one, is still a Jew.[41]
It was, of course, a lie what you read about my religious convictions, a lie which is being systematically repeated. I do not believe in a personal God and I have never denied this but have expressed it clearly. If something is in me which can be called religious then it is the unbounded admiration for the structure of the world so far as our science can reveal it.[42]

Answer 3

Isaach Newton appreciated that God is the Source of all truth, and in line with the deep reverence he had for his Creator, he appears to have spent even more time searching after the true God than he did in searching out scientific truths. An analysis of all that Newton wrote reveals that out of some 3,600,000 words only 1,000,000 were devoted to the sciences, whereas some 1,400,000 were on religious topics. (The Correspondence of Isaac Newton, edited by H. W. Turnbull, F.R.S., Cambridge 1961, Vol. 1, p. XVII)

In weighing this evidence, Newton firmly held that reasoning should be used. He argued that nothing created by God was without purpose and reason, and Bible teachings would be sustained by similar application of logic and reason. Speaking of the apostle John’s writings, Newton said: “I have that honour for him as to believe that he wrote good sense; and therefore take that sense to be his which is the best.” (An Historical Account of Two Notable Corruptions of Scripture, p. 61.)

He reasons for rejecting the Trinity teaching was clear when Newton declared: “Homoousion [the doctrine that the Son is of the same substance as the Father] is unintelligible. ’Twas not understood in the Council of Nice, nor ever since. What cannot be understood is no object of belief.” (Sir Isaac Newton Theological Manuscripts, p. 17)

Answer 4

Sir Isaac Newton

Answer 5

His name is Francis Collins, a genetic scientist who says material signs point to God but that God also exists outside of space and time.

Answer 6

Galileo, Newton, DaVinci, Copernicus, DesCartes, Fermi, Mendel, Pasteur, Piccard, many others.

Answer 7

How about a Jewish God (who's the same God)? Einstein. Isaac Newton. Galileo. Bernoulli. Planck. Pasteur. Watt....

Answer 8

There is actually a list compiled....I'll see if I can find it and add the link for you . But, I remember Einstein and Darwin being numbered among them.

Answer 9

Albert Einstein was a regular attendee of the 9th Church of Christ.

Answer 10

Einstein.
