Science and Christianity
(Laboratory Glassware - found here) |
“. . . Isaac Newton, frequently dubbed the greatest scientist and mathematician of all time, though he wrote reams of math and science, wrote even more about his own Christian faith.
. . . Copernicus and Galileo were devout Catholics.
. . . Louis Pasteur died with his rosary in his hands.
. . . Max Planck was a church warden.
. . . [There are] contemporary physicists who seek only equations and then cough up poetic admissions of ineluctable confrontations with God.
. . . Einstein adamantly refused to be counted in the atheist census, though he was aggressively invited, and … he emphatically insisted on his own understanding of God as driving his science: I want to know the mind of God, Einstein said; ‘the rest are details.’ Johannes Kepler, Rene Descartes, Blaise Pascal, Gregor Mendel: Remove these Christian names and you’ve pretty much erased the scientific canon.”
