List Of Christian Thinkers In Science

This list is about the relationship between religion and science, but is specific to Christian history. This is only supplementary to the issue as lists are by themselves not equipped to answer questions on this topic. The list's purpose is to act as a guide: names, annotations, and links are provided for use in further study on this topic.

This list is non-exhaustive and is limited (due to space constraints) to those scientists who also contributed to Christian theology or some other type of religious thinking. There are two specific groups of Christians who made significant contributions to science that are not covered in this list : 1 Catholic scientists who are members of the Society of Jesus: these can be found in the List of Jesuit scientists. 2) Scientists who are members of the Religious Society of Friends: these are listed in Quakers in science.

Famous quotes containing the words list of, list, christian, thinkers and/or science:

    “Feminism is an entire world view or gestalt, not just a laundry list of women’s issues.”
    —Charlotte Bunch (b. 1944)

    “Weigh what loss your honor may sustain
    If with too credent ear you list his songs,
    Or lose your heart, or your chaste treasure open
    To his unmastered importunity.”
    —William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    “All great amusements are dangerous to the Christian life; but among all those which the world has invented there is none more to be feared than the theater. It is a representation of the passions so natural and so delicate that it excites them and gives birth to them in our hearts, and, above all, to that of love.”
    —Blaise Pascal (1623–1662)

    “Those thinkers who cannot believe in any gods often assert that the love of humanity would be in itself sufficient for them; and so, perhaps, it would, if they had it.”
    —Gilbert Keith Chesterton (1874–1936)

    “Science is the only truth and it is the great lie. It knows nothing, and people think it knows everything. It is misrepresented. People think that science is electricity, automobilism, and dirigible balloons. It is something very different. It is life devouring itself. It is the sensibility transformed into intelligence. It is the need to know stifling the need to live. It is the genius of knowledge vivisecting the vital genius.”
    —Rémy De Gourmont (1858–1915)
