Past & present and in no particular order…
Isaac Newton – Physicist/Mathematician/Astronomer
We account the Scriptures of God to be the most sublime philosophy. I find more sure marks of authenticity in the Bible than in any profane history whatever. – Isaac Newton
Francis Collins – Geneticist
“while the long history of religious oppression and hypocrisy is profoundly sobering, the earnest seeker must look beyond the behavior of flawed humans in order to find the truth. Would you condemn an oak tree because its timbers had been used to build battering rams? Would you blame the air for allowing lies to be transmitted through it? Would you judge Mozart’s The Magic Flute on the basis of a poorly rehearsed performance by fifth-graders? If you had never seen a real sunset over the Pacific, would you allow a tourist brochure as a substitute? Would you evaluate the power of romantic love solely in the light of an abusive marriage next door? No. A real evaluation of the truth of faith depends upon looking at the clean, pure water, not at the rusty container – Francis Collins
Galileo – Astronomer
God is known by nature in His works, and by doctrine in His revealed word. – Galileo
Blaise Pascal – Physicist/Mathematician
There is a God-shaped vacuum in the heart of each man which cannot be satisfied by any created thing but only by God the Creator, made known through Jesus Christ. – Blaise Pascal
Sir Francis Bacon – Scientist
God has placed no limits to the exercise of the intellect he has given us, on this side of the grave. – Francis Bacon
Louis Pasteur – Chemist/Biologist
The more I study nature, the more I stand amazed at the work of the Creator. – Louis Pasteur
John Carson Lennox – Mathematician
Faith is not a leap in the dark; it’s the exact opposite. It’s a commitment based on evidence… It is irrational to reduce all faith to blind faith and then subject it to ridicule. That provides a very anti-intellectual and convenient way of avoiding intelligent discussion. – John C. Lennox
Dr. Martyn Lloyd Jones – Medical Doctor/Pastor
“Faith holds on to truth and reason from what it knows to be fact.”- Martyn Lloyd-Jones
Dr. Luke (The Apostle)
With this in mind, since I myself have carefully investigated everything from the beginning, I too decided to write an orderly account for you, most excellent Theophilus, so that you may know the certainty of the things you have been taught. – Dr. Luke
