Albert Einstein (1879-1955)

Albert Einstein, one of the most highly recognized and revered scientists of the
twentieth century believed in religion. The founder of modern physics and Nobel
laureate recognized the impossibility of a non-created university, quoted saying
“Everyone who is seriously committed to the cultivation of science becomes convinced
that in all the laws of the universe is manifest a spirit vastly superior to man, and to
which we with our powers must feel humble.” Another famous quote of his was “Science
without religion is lame, religion without science is blind.”

Charles Darwin (1809-1882)


It may be surprising to see the English naturalist and geologist, Charles Darwin on this
list, given his contributions to evolutionary theory but the scientist did believe in God
and believed there could be a relationship between faith and science, quoted saying “I
have never denied the existence of God. I think the theory of evolution is fully
compatible with faith in God. I think the greatest argument for the existence in God is
the impossibility of demonstrating and understanding that the immense universe,
sublime above all measure, and man were the result of chance.”

Johannes Kepler (1571-1630)


The brilliant mathematician and one of the greatest astronomers could not deny God or
his power, quoted saying “God is great. Great is his power, infinite his wisdom. Praise
him, heaven and earth, sun, moon, and stars in your own language. My Lord and my
Creator. I would like to proclaim the magnificence of your works to men to the extent
that my limited intelligence can understand.” He was a practicing Lutheran, who also
believed space and the heavenly bodies represent the Holy Trinity

Sir Isaac Newton (1543-1727)
The founder of classical theoretical physics is known for his genius in the world of optics,
mechanics and mathematics. But what many people don’t know is that he was devoutly
religious and did a considerable amount of work in biblical numerology, drawing a
connection between numbers in understanding God’s plan for history from the Bible. He
is quoted saying, “What we know is a drop, what we do not know is a vast ocean. The
admirable arrangement and harmony of the universe could only have come from the
plan of an omniscient and omnipotent being.”
