The discovery of DNA was made by two Englishmen, Watson and Crick. The transistor was invented by Americans, and all computers are descended from it. Albert Einstein and Jonas Salk were Jewish. But what significant advances have been made by minds addled with fundamentalism? *Waits, tapping fingers on desk*.

Gregor Mendel - he discovered that traits of inheritance are governed by predictable laws. This lead to the discovery of DNA and the science of genetics.
He was a monk at the Augustinian Abbey of St. Thomas in Brno in Germany when he did this research.
I don't know if you would call him a fundamentalist exactly because a fundamentalist in my opinion actively avoids anything that might contradict scripture. However, he was a monk and that means he was pretty serious about religion.

None at all. They aren't interested in science. However, true christians have many many good discoveries.
