Scientists choose whether they will believer God's word or discount it. - Explore over 101 biographies of groundbreaking, influential scientists with their Christian testimonies - See how the belief in a Creator inspired the earliest explorations of science and still impacts the work of Bible-believing scientists today Science and faith are often considered incompatible in the academic world today. One is seen as representing truth, while the other is viewed as fanciful according to the skeptical, science-centered culture. But the reality is that thousands of scientists, in fact, many of science’s greatest “founding fathers,” believed openly in God as they worked and studied His created world. Learn how their discoveries led them to even greater depths of faith and how their beliefs influenced and inspired their work. There is nothing in science that can ever prove that God does not exist and, therefore, no way that science can disprove Creation. For so many in the past, the answer was that their faith was inseparable from their science, a powerful point to encourage believers and challenge the skeptics.

Henry M. Morris (1918–2006) was an American engineer and young Earth creationist, widely regarded as the father of modern creation science. He founded the Institute for Creation Research.
Great little book that makes it abundantly clear that any of the frequent claims that no true scientist could believe the Bible (especially the Book of Genesis) is ridiculously wrong.
Good concise summary of the myriad of scientists from the founders of modern science, age of Newton, just before Darwin, just after Darwin, and the modern Period that hold to a biblical world view. It’s a very false (and relatively young) dichotomy to assume the word of God and science cannot mix.
Favorite Quotes:
Kepler’s definition of science: “Thinking God’s thoughts after Him.”
Newton: “We account the Scriptures of God to be the most sublime philosophy. I find more sure marks of authenticity in the Bible then in any profane history whatsoever.”
Herschel: “All human discoveries seem to be made only for the purpose of confirming more and more strongly the truths come from on high and contained in the sacred writings.”
Samuel Morse: “The nearer I approach to the end of my pilgrimage, the clearer is the evidence of the divine origin of the Bible, the grandeur and sublimity of God’s remedy for fallen man are more appreciate, and the future is illuminated with hope and joy.”
James Dana: “The grand old book of God still stands; and this old earth, the more it’s leaves are turned over and pondered, the more it will sustain and illustrate the sacred Word.”
