Christian Impact in Science

Alfred North Whitehead, noted mathematician and philosopher has stated in his book, Science and the Modern World, that Christianity is the mother of science because of "the medieval insistence on the rationality of God." Science comes from the latin term scientia, which simply means knowledge. But modern science is a blend of rationality and empiricism that came into being in the sixteenth century and has given rise to what we know as the Scientific Age. One of the great organizations that helped propel science and scientific advances was the Royal Society of London for Improving Natural Knowledge, founded in 1660. Most of its members were professing Christians. The Royal Society began in Gresham College, which was a Puritan college, and therefore purely Bible-based. Here is a listing of just a few of the outstanding Bible-believing scientists who founded the following branches of science.

Antiseptic surgery, Joseph Lister; Bacteriology, Louis Pasteur; Calculus, Isaac Newton; Chemistry, Robert Boyle; Computer Science, Charles Babbage; Electromagnetics, Michael Faraday; Electronics, John Ambrose Fleming; Galactic Astronomy, Sir William Hershel; Genetics, Gregor Mendel; Ichthyology, Louis Agassiz; Isotopic Chemistry, William Ramsey; Natural History, John Ray; Oceanography, MatthewMaury
