...being an intelligent, rational, logical person capable of making great scientific discoveries and advancements like it precluded people such as Galileo, Newton, Faraday, Kelvin, et al from doing so?

Thanks, Militant, i guess my company is doomed. :-P
No - God is real, and as scientists we study his work. Having a relationship with him gives you more access to knowledge, not less. I'm a devout Christian and hope I can still be intelligent and make scientific discoveries..... I have a science degree from MIT and work in scientific research.

Obviously, it didn't keep them from making great scientific discoveries, or we never would have heard of them. It will of course, preclude you from being taken seriously by the scientific community, even blackballed, which has become very anti-christian.

You could make a scientific discovery, but yes it does preclude you from being generally rational or logical.

Wow, Christian geniuses, you know if Christians are/were smart you would think that your list would be a lot longer, considering that most people in Europeans and American history were Christian, a product of their times.

Not at all. Though the poeple you site would overwhlemingly look down at American Evangelicals as useless simpletons.

Mostly, yes. There are exceptions to every rule, of course. But for the most part, in the 21st century, if you're foolish enough to believe that there's an invisible man in the sky who fathered a magical kid to a virgin 2,000 years ago and he hears your unvocalized thoughts, then I would think you're not going to be breaking any scientific ground any time soon.
