Famous Scientists Who Believed God Created
Some of the greatest scientists like James Clerk Maxwell and Michael Faraday had great success in science and had a solid belief in God.
They believed God created the world and it may have been there belief in order and design that helped pave the way for massive discovery unlike the many modern scientists that are building on such a strong base of already discovered science.
Modern science often believes the impossible idea that the world came from nothing. This is irrational and silly to the utmost. It is really resistance of God in the face of the obvious reality that everything has been created by someone vastly beyond our human understanding. But these creatures of instinct show their foolishness by promoting rediculous ideas, like we all came from star dust.
We think it is interesting that God allowed a Jewish man to discover "E=mc2." Although Einstein was confused about God, he respected some of the greatest scientists. On his wall in Princeton, Einstein had three famous scientists on hanging on his wall. In his own words, he says he was greatly influenced by Isaac Newton, Michael Faraday, and especially James Clerk Maxwell. All these men believed in God as the creator. We especially appreciate Maxwell for his science, his foundational role in Electrial Engineering and his Christian faith. Here is a quote of his,
"At the same time I think that each individual man should do all he can to impress his own mind with the extent, the order, and the unity of the universe, and should carry these ideas with him as he reads such passages as the 1st Chap. of the Ep. to Colossians (see Lightfoot on Colossians, p.182), just as enlarged conceptions of the extent and unity of the world of life may be of service to us in reading Psalm viii, Heb ii 6, etc." http://silas.psfc.mit.edu/Maxwell/.
