The girl who rejected your rainbow explanation and the someone who told you about the planets speak for themselves.

The someone might even be justified in talking about evidence for the existence of planets because im damn sure you read about the planets in books. So if he's asking for evidence, please be prepared to take him to space, afterall seeing is beliving.

winner01:
Which churches are you people talking about?

KingEbukaNaija:


True though . I have not seen planets but I believe there are billions of them because books told me . Wow !!

macof:




Did he learn that from the Catholic university or he went out of the little christian box?

didn't yours reject it?

Someone should help me identify the contributions of Christianity to the modern science and technology please... Thanks in advance.

This is what real scientists who made huge discoveries in their days have to say about mordern science and technology.

Real Scientists Who Believe

Most of the great scientists of the past who founded and developed the key disciplines of science were biblical Christians who were creationists. Note the following sampling:

Physics: Newton, Faraday, Maxwell, Kelvin

Chemistry: Boyle, Dalton, Pascal, Ramsay

Biology: Ray, Linnaeus, Mendel, Pasteur

Geology: Steno, Woodward, Brewster, Agassiz

Astronomy: Kepler, Galileo, Herschel, Maunder

"These men, as well as scores of others who could be mentioned, were creationists, not evolutionists, and their names are practically synonymous with the rise of modern science. To them, the scientific enterprise was a high calling, one dedicated to thinking God's thoughts after Him."

-- A creationist and theologian, Henry Morris and Gary E. Parker, What is Creation Science?

Here is another quote from Arthur H. Compton, winner of Nobel Prize in Physics:

"Science is the glimpse of God's purpose in nature. The very existence of the amazing world of the atom and radiation points to a purposeful creation, to the idea that there is a God and an intelligent purpose back of everything . . . An orderly universe testifies to the greatest statement ever uttered: 'In the beginning, God . . .'"

Johann Kepler:

"The chief aim of all investigation of the external world should be to discover the rational order and harmony which has been imposed on it by God."

Lord Kelvin:

"With regard to the origin of life, science . . . positively affirms creative power."

Sir Isaac Newton:

"All material things seem to have been composed of the hard and solid particles above mentioned, variously associated in the first creation by the counsel of an intelligent Agent. For it became Him who created them to set them in order. And if He did so, it's unphilosophical to seek for any other origin of the world, or to pretend that it might arise out of a chaos by the mere laws of nature."

"An increasing number of scientists, most particularly a growing number of evolutionists . . . argue that Darwinian evolutionary theory is no genuine scientific theory at all . . . Many of the critics have the highest intellectual credentials."

-- Michael Ruse, "Darwin's Theory: An Exercise in Science," New Scientist

And this is what a Jewish scientist who was obviously influenced by the Jewish Scriptures had to say:

Albert Einstein:

"Science can only be created by those who are thoroughly imbued with inspiration toward truth and understanding. This source of feeling, however, springs from the sphere of Religion. To this there also belongs the faith in the possibility that the regulations valid for the world of existence are rational, that is, comprehensible to reason. I cannot conceive of a genuine scientist without that profound faith."

Believe what exactly? That there is a Creator or that Jesus died for our sins and has prepared a torture chamber for those who do not believe Him? These are two different things.

OLAADEGBU:


Most were biblical Christians who believed in the creation account of the Bible.

TomHagen:


Do you have any proof of this?

OLAADEGBU:

Yes.

TomHagen:


Let's see them.

OLAADEGBU:


If you didn't believe the aforementioned below are what some other scientists who are Christians said and did about science.

Dr. James Simpson, born in 1811, was responsible for the discovery of chloroform's anaesthetic qualities, leading to its medical use worldwide.  He also laid a solid foundation for gynaecology and predicted the discovery of the X-ray.  Dr. Simpson was president of the Royal Medical Society and Royal Physician to the Queen, the highest medical position of his day.  He once stated:

"Christianity works because it is supremely true and therefore supremely livable.  There is nothing incompatible between religion and science."

James Tour, a nanoscientist from Rice University said the following words:

"Only a rookie who knows nothing about science would say science takes away from faith.  If you really study science, it will bring you closer to God."

Patrick Glynn said:

"Today, the concrete data point strongly in the direction of the God hypothesis.  Those who wish to oppose it have no testable theory to marshal, only speculations about unseen universes spun from fertile imaginations . . . Ironically, the picture of the universe given to us by the most advanced science is closer in spirit to the vision presented in the Book of Genesis than anything offered by science since Copernicus."

TomHagen:


How many Nobel Prizes do these people have between them? These are relatively unknown people. I was expecting to see names like Newton, Einstein, Pasteur etc.

OLAADEGBU:


If you had read my penultimate posts (the one you first quoted) you would have seen those names you mentioned and more.

TomHagen:


I did. Those guys believed that there is a Creator. Prove to me that Newton for example believed that Jesus died for his sins.

OLAADEGBU:


Isaac Newton was an ardent student of the Bible, he also had faith in the infallible Word of God unlike the modern atheist evolutionists. He was able to think God's thought after Him and as a result discovered together with his peer, calculus, he also formulated the laws of motion and gravity, he successfully computed the nature of planetary orbits, he made many discoveries in optics and invented the reflecting telescope. When we get to heaven we may have the privilege of asking him whether he actually believed in Jesus' death and if he's not in heaven then who will ask him, you?

TomHagen:


You can't prove this now can you?

OLAADEGBU:


It suffices me that he believed in biblical creation and that makes him a real scientist. There are other scientists who are Christians such as the Swedish botanist, Carl Linnaeus, who developed the double-Latin-name system for taxonomic classification of plants and animals. He believed the Genesis creation account. If the Bible is your starting point you can't get it wrong.

Pdizzle:
Science is not anyway related to Christianity, scientists who were Christains made impact when they ventured out of their beliefs. If they were how ever related the bible should be a blueprint to many scientific discoveries we have today.

kilo4sure:

How do you know they made impact when they ventured out of their beliefs? Can you prove this?

Pdizzle:


What's there to prove?
Galileo had problems with the church for saying the earth is rotating and sun is not.
If you really believe the tower of babel story, would you nurse the idea of being an astronaut, talkless venture into the sky?

kilo4sure:

Galileo and who again? Also note that the church had problems with many other Christians, and Gallileo himself was a Christian, nor did he blame Christianity for the problem he had with the church. Funny how you could only name Galileo as the scientist the church had problem with. There's no obstacle to science for the Christian mind.

Pdizzle:


Galileo was a Christian, what/who is to blame for the problems he had with the church?
You didn't answer my last question, let me ask another;
Do you believe the earth have pillars?

kilo4sure:

Modified above.

TomHagen:


Just those two?

Physics: Newton, Faraday, Maxwell, Kelvin

Chemistry: Boyle, Dalton, Pascal, Ramsay

Biology: Ray, Linnaeus, Mendel, Pasteur

Geology: Steno, Woodward, Brewster, Agassiz

Astronomy: Kepler, Galileo, Herschel, Maunder

Did u know that yale, havard and many other ivy league schools were started by christians in america.. even havard was started purely as a seminary school..

Infact the concept of a university was started by the roman catholic church.

Most of the 17th ,18th and 19th century scientists who shaped our modern world were christians.. the greatest scientist of all time was the genuis sir issac newton who laid the foundation for the scientific principles that govern almost everything we use today in the modern world..
He was even supposed to be a priest but opted to go to university but remained celibate his entire life..

These days a lot of scientist identify as atheists but the most Nobel prize winners are jews then christians..

Christianity has shaped our world from the concept of hospitals, charity organizations to how we tell time..
