Scientists who believe in God, such as Einstein, Newton, Ampere, Faraday and Ohm?

Many famous scientists in human history believe in God, and the founders of modern science are almost all Christians. The Bible says that God is the creator of all things in the universe, and man is created by God in his own image. Because of the rationality given by God, people have the ability to accept God's revelation to know the universe and then know God. At the same time, God wants people to manage the environment and all kinds of fish, birds and animals. Only by having a deep understanding of the managed objects can we be good stewards of God. In order to know and honor God and live up to God's trust, a large number of devout Christians devoted themselves to natural science with great enthusiasm and made remarkable achievements, becoming the founders of various disciplines.

1865, the British Science Society published a declaration on religion (especially Christianity) and science signed by 6 17 people, which is now kept in the Bordelon Library in Oxford. Its declaration reads as follows:

"We express our views on the relationship between science and religion as natural scientists. At present, some people in the scientific community doubt the authenticity and correctness of the Bible because they seek scientific truth. We deeply regret this!

We believe that the existence of God is written in the Bible on the one hand and in nature on the other. Although they are different in form, they must not conflict with each other.

We should remember that physical science is not perfect, but it is still making progress; At present, our limited understanding seems to be looking in the mirror, but it is still vague.

At present, many natural science scholars do not study the Bible, but only doubt and oppose it because of its imperfect laws and lack of knowledge. This attitude is really distressing.

We are convinced that every scientist's sole purpose in studying nature is to clarify the truth. If their research finds that the Bible conflicts with science (in fact, it is just a misinterpretation of the Bible), we must not rashly and arbitrarily think that his conclusion is correct and the records in the Bible are wrong. Instead, we should take an objective attitude, be calm, listen to God's instructions, and make sure that the two must be consistent. We must not be paranoid that there are conflicts and differences between science and the Bible. "

Here are some concrete examples:

(1) Newton (1642— 1727)

Newton is an outstanding representative of this large number of Christian scientists. He/Kloc-entered Cambridge University at the age of 0/8, and even became a professor at Cambridge University at the age of 27, which is enough to prove how brilliant his achievements are. His research fields involve mathematics, physics and astronomy. He invented calculus in mathematics, published the foundation work of modern science, Mathematical Principles of Natural Science, and put forward three laws of motion of mechanics named after him. The story of his discovery of the law of gravity under the apple tree has been adopted by many teachers and parents all over the world for centuries as a classic material for popular science education for children.

Although Newton made unparalleled contributions to science, he was a devout Christian. Throughout his life, he believed that human rational ability was limited and could not accommodate all experiences. So his interest in studying the Bible is not under science. According to statistics, Newton's published scientific works only account for 16% of all his works, and the remaining 84% are unpublished theological works, with a total of more than 1.4 million words. He wrote: "I firmly believe that the Bible is the word of God, and the Bible was written by people inspired by God. Therefore, I study the Bible every day. " "According to my research results, the letters and evidence recorded in the Bible are far from being compared with secular history." Newton studied astronomy and noticed the work of the hand of God. He said: "Atheism is ignorant. I observed the solar system and saw that the earth kept a certain distance from the sun and got proper heat and light. This can never be a coincidence. " "Only this wise man has great ability to create and plan such a beautiful solar system. All the planets and comets are dominated by him. He is the master of all things. "

(2) Einstein (1879-1955)

Einstein was the most outstanding physicist in the 20th century and another peak in the field of science after Newton. His special relativity and general relativity have brought about profound changes in the field of physics.

Einstein believed in a God. He said, "The infinitely superior God shows his existence in trivial matters that our weak hearts can perceive. I am completely convinced of this. That's how my faith was formed. In my heart, I am convinced that there is a transcendental wisdom in the incredible universe, which constitutes my belief in God. " Although he is a master of science, he doesn't believe that science is omnipotent. He pointed out: "what is the meaning of human life ... knowing the answer to this question is to have religious belief."

(3) Faraday (1791-1867)

Faraday was a British physicist, chemist and Christian elder. He is famous for his discovery of electromagnetic induction and is known as the "father of electricity". The unit of capacitor is "Farah" named after him. He was also an inventor and manufacturer, who invented generators and transformers and the earliest electric engines.

Faraday is a devout Christian. He is a pastor of a church in London and preaches many times a week. Up to now, there have been 150 sermons. His famous saying is: "We will say what the Bible says; We shouldn't say what the Bible doesn't say. " He believed in the unity and consistency of God's creation, which led him to introduce the concepts of electric field and magnetic field. In order to let the public know the creation of God's wisdom, he publicly demonstrated his discoveries in electricity. In his later years, he read the Bible more diligently. When a reporter asked him what his guess was after his death, he replied, "guess?" I never had any guesses. I believe all the evidence. I know who I trust and I am convinced that he can keep what I gave him until that day (2 Timothy 12). "

(4) Joule (1818-1889)

Joule is a British physicist. His contribution to physics laid the foundation of the law of conservation and transformation of energy, and the unit of energy was named "Joule" after him. He put forward Joule's law, which was considered as the originator of thermodynamics in the new science at that time. He provided an experimental basis for the first law of thermodynamics (implying that the universe is not naturally derived).

Joule is a Christian. He believes that scientific research is consistent with biblical truth. He firmly believes that God is the creator of the universe. He listed his priorities: "admit faith, obey God's will, and then experience his wisdom, ability and kindness from the work of his hands."

(5) Maxwell (1831-1879)

Maxwell is a British physicist. His electromagnetic theory and its related equations opened a new milestone for physics in the 20th century.

Friends and colleagues in the scientific community all admit that Maxwell is a devout Christian. He is an elder of the church and often studies the Bible. His prayer was recorded in his notebook: "Almighty God, you created man in your own image and gave him the soul of life to seek you. You rule all living things, teach us to study your own work, let us reclaim land, make good use of resources and redouble our efforts to serve you; Let us accept your praiseworthy words and believe that you sent the Lord Jesus to bring us the knowledge of salvation and forgiveness. We pray in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ. "

(6) Pascal (1623-1662)

Pascal is a French mathematician and physicist. He showed great talent since he was a child, and wrote the famous work of projection geometry "The Theory of Conic Curves" at the age of 16. He studied the coefficient law of binomial expansion in algebra and made great contributions to the study of probability theory and cycloid. In physics, he put forward Pascal's law that closed fluid can transmit pressure, and the unit of pressure was named "Pascal" after him.

Pascal is a rare Christian scientist who loves God instead of the world. Just as his scientific research achievements were climbing, at the age of 24, he gave up scientific research and devoted himself to God. His main works, thoughts and correspondence with other provinces are regarded as theological classics. Pascal's scientific method bears the deep imprint of Christian belief, and he criticizes rationalism. He believes that people must accept (or reject) God's revelation and cannot doubt it just because it is unreasonable. The idea that God's infinity is beyond reason and everything can be explained by scientific principles is an extremely arrogant assumption. Through the record of thoughts, we can see the heart of a Christian: "Without Jesus Christ, the world can't exist, because it must be either the destruction of the world or the world is like hell."

(7) Galileo (1564-1642)

Galileo was an Italian physicist. His name is closely related to the famous Leaning Tower of Pisa. His free fall experiment on the leaning tower overthrew Aristotle's argument that objects with different weights fall at different speeds. Galileo first tested the correctness of theoretical deduction through experiments and laid the foundation of modern scientific research methods; Therefore, he is called the father of modern science. In the field of astronomy, Galileo made astronomical observations with a self-made telescope, and wrote "Dialogue on Two World Systems", claiming that Copernicus's "Ground Motion Theory" was completely correct.

Galileo was a devout Catholic and monk. He believes that the Bible is inspired by God, science and the Bible cannot conflict with each other, and there is no contradiction between religious beliefs and scientific beliefs. 1633 In June, Pope urban VIII felt the growing influence of Protestantism and was determined to safeguard the interests of Catholicism and suppress Galileo's views in the dialogue. Galileo was questioned by the heretical court, but Galileo always thought he was right. He said, "Am I not a Christian? Can't I be the pride of the church? Don't I worship Almighty God and his only son Jesus? What should I confess? Do I have to hide the truth, blaspheme God, and disgrace the church? " As a Catholic, he also recognized the authority of religious meetings, sermons and doctrines; He announced in court: "I swear that I have believed in the help of God, the holy Catholicism and everything taught and taught by the Orthodox Church established by the apostles." Galileo insisted on the correct position of the relationship between faith and science, and believed that Copernicus' theory was in line with the Bible, while the Catholic Pope persecuted Galileo to safeguard the authority of the Vatican. This incident is a conflict between Protestantism and the old Catholic Church, and cannot be simply described as the persecution of science by religion. In fact, the Pope is not defending the Bible, but using the political power of Catholic organizations to suppress Protestants or scientists.
