Scientists who Believe in Special Creation

Information from Dr. Henry Morris' book The Biblical Basis for Modern Science (1984, Baker Book House, Grand Rapids, Michigan):

"Men such as Johann Kepler, Isaac Newton, Robert Boyle, David Brewster, John Dalton, Michael Faraday, Blaise Pascal, Clerk Maxwell, Louis Pasteur, William Thompson (Lord Kelvin), and a host of others of comparable stature were men who firmly believed in special creation and the personal omnipotent God of creation, as well as believing in the Bible as the inspired Word of God and in Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior. Their great contributions in science -- indeed, in laying the very foundations of modern science -- were made in implicit confidence that they were merely 'thinking God's thoughts after Him,' and that they were doing His will and glorifying His name in so doing. They certainly entertained no thoughts of conflict between science and the Bible."

"Fruitful scientific research almost demands a Biblical world view, either consciously or subconsciously, a world view in which like causes produce like effects, where natural phenomena follow fixed and intelligible natural laws, and where we can have confidence that we can think rationally and meaningfully. Such a world presupposes no random chaotic origin but an origin under the control of a great mind and will, an intelligent and volitional First Cause, a great Lawgiver who can enact, implement, and enforce His created laws."
