Scientists and YHWH


Many so called educated folks today treat those who worship YHWH instead of science as if we must be stupid. Do you know anyone who thinks that science (or reason) and belief in God are incompatible? Maybe they should consider the thoughts on that subject from some “great thinkers”:

From religion comes a man's purpose; from science, his power to achieve it. Sometimes people ask if religion and science are not opposed to one another. They are: in the sense that the thumb and fingers of my hands are opposed to one another. It is an opposition by means of which anything can be grasped. -- William H. Bragg

I find it as difficult to understand a scientist who does not acknowledge the presence of a superior rationality behind the existence of the universe as it is to comprehend a theologian who would deny the advances of science. -- Wernher Von Braun

The more I study science, the more I believe in God. -- Albert Einstein

The laws of nature are but the mathematical thoughts of God. -- Euclid

The question of whether there exists a Creator and Ruler of the Universe has been answered in the affirmative by some of the highest intellects that have ever existed. -- Charles Darwin

God used beautiful mathematics in creating the world. -- Paul Dirac

I believe that the more thoroughly science is studied, the further does it take us from anything comparable to atheism.
If you study science deep enough and long enough, it will force you to believe in God. -- William Kelvin

It was not by accident that the greatest thinkers of all ages were deeply religious souls. -- Max Planck

This sense of wonder leads most scientists to a Superior Being – der Alte, the Old One, as Einstein affectionately called the Deity – a Superior Intelligence, the Lord of all Creation and Natural Law. -- Abdus Salam

Science is not only compatible with spirituality; it is a profound source of spirituality. When we recognize our place in an immensity of light-years and in the passage of ages, when we grasp the intricacy, beauty, and subtlety of life, then that soaring feeling, that sense of elation and humility combined, is surely spiritual...The notion that science and spirituality are somehow mutually exclusive does a disservice to both. -- Carl Sagan

A scientific discovery is also a religious discovery. There is no conflict between science and religion. Our knowledge of God is made larger with every discovery we make about the world. -- Joseph H. Taylor, Jr.
