Science- a Glimpse of God

 

 Men of Science

Gottfried  Wilhelm Leibnitz ( 1646-1716 )

Perhaps one of the most gifted philosophers and mathematicians; he was a co-discoverer with Newton of calculus also of the fundamental principle of energy conservation. He introduced the binary notational system and the Boolean system of logic.

Man of God

 Best known for his philosophical and theological study “theodicy”” that this is the best of possible worlds. He believed strongly in God and wrote a defense of the doctrine of the holy Trinity.

Men Of Science

Michael Faraday (1791-1867)

He is universally acclaimed as one of the greatest physicists of all time! His boldest and much acknowledged  gift was in scientific experimentation. Particularly in the development  of  the new sciences of electricity and magnetism. He invented the generator and made other key inventions and discoveries.

Man of God.

By all accounts a man of deep humility and sincere belief in God , prayer and the Bible. His church which he led some of its ministries, fully agreed and fully believed in the abiding teaching which stated,” The Bible and it alone, with nothing added to it and nothing taken from it by man is the sole and sufficient guide  for each individual, at all times and in all circumstances.”

Men of Science

Humphrey Davey (1778-1829)

 He was a great chemist.  Faraday , his apprentice was encouraged to pursue Science and devoted his whole life to it. Sir Humphrey was the first to isolate many chemical elements, which lead him to the motion theory of heat, to invent the safety lamp and to uncover the Diamond’s true nature being  highly compressed carbon.

Man of God

Like Faraday, he was a devout Bible believing Christian, highly altruistic and generous. In a latter period of life he dabbled with Christian mysticism. But returned to Biblical Christianity and found peaceful  living in his retired years.
