Continuing with the series on creation science, I want to
share some things from the book Evidence
for Creation by Tom DeRosa (Coral Ridge Ministries). However, this first
blog over the book will not focus on the content so much, but on some of the
quotes from other sources in the book.
I want to simply show some of the quotes from leading
scientist from different fields. In essence, I will let these scientists’ words
defend themselves against the modern day notion that Christians don’t
understand science.
“If one considers the matter right, Natural Philosophy,
after God’s Word, the surest medicine for superstition, and also the most
approved nourishment of Faith. And so she is rightly given to Religion as a
most faithful handmaiden; the one manifesting the will of God, the other His
power.”
--Francis
Bacon
Father
of the Scientific Method
“I give you thanks, Creator God, that you have given me this
joy in Thy creation, and I rejoice in the works of Your hands. See I have now
completed the work to which I was called. In it I have used all the talents You
have lent to my spirit.”
--Johannes
Kepler
famous
astronomer on planetary motion
“We account the Scriptures of God to be the most sublime
philosophy. I find more sure marks of authenticity in the Bible than in any
profane history whatsoever.”
--Sir
Isaac Newton

If Christians die and there isn’t really a God, “he has lost
nothing. But if a Christian dies and there is a God, heaven and hell, he has
gained everything, while his ‘skeptical friend’ has lost everything in hell.”
--Blaise
Pascal
Father
of the Science of Hydrostatics

Manifested in the Works of the Creation”

God’s “finely-tuned clock” is “where all things are so
skillfully contrived that the engine being once set-a-moving, all things
proceed according to the Artificer’s first design.”
--Robert
Boyle
Father
of Physical Chemistry
This book contained more quotes from leading scientists, as
well as empirical data. The next blog will look more at the evidence for
Creation, but in this one I wanted to let some of the world’s most renown
researches speak for themselves.
