SCIENTIFIC DISCIPLINES ESTABLISHED
By
Bible-Believing Creationist Scientists
Lists below are not all conclusive!
Many of the greatest scientists of the past were literally the Fathers of Science and they were creationists and also Bible-believing Christians. These men believed in the inspiration and authority of the Bible, and Jesus Christ. They believed that God had supernaturally created all things, each with its own complex structure for its own unique purpose. They believed that the order that a Designer brought to creation actually allowed them to study and find scientific laws and processes. Mere chance would not bring these about, capricious gods would not - only a God of great order and design. They believed that, as scientists, they were "thinking God's thoughts after Him," learning to understand and control the laws and processes of nature for God's glory and man's good.
Their belief in a Designer/Creator and the Bible did not hinder them in their commitment to the "scientific method." In fact, Sir Francis Bacon, is credited with formulating and establishing the scientific method! They seem also to have been able to maintain a proper "scientific attitude," for it was these men (Newton, Pasteur, Linnaeus, Faraday, Pascal, Lord Kelvin, Maxwell, Kepler, etc.) whose research and analyses led to the very laws and concepts of science which brought about our modern scientific age. The mechanistic scientists of the present are dwarfed in comparison to these intellectual giants of the past.
