Scientists and God
It might have surprised you to find a website about science and faith and how they interact with each other. Or maybe it didn’t. Perhaps you’ve always thought that you had to choose between a faith in God and becoming a great scientist. Or perhaps you’ve heard of lots of scientists who have a faith.
In reality, lots of scientists throughout history have had a deep, personal faith - and that’s still true today. Many of these scientists see science as a way of learning about the things they believe God has done and made, and continues to do and make.
Many of them also see their scientific research as a way of honouring and praising God. This can be for a number of reasons. Firstly, they see working in science as a way to show that they care enough about God to want to learn more about him and his amazing universe. They might also see working in science as a way of learning how to take good care of the planet and all of the plants, animals and people - something that Christians believe God has asked us to do. And, as well as that, scientists of faith tend to find that the more they learn through science about the universe, the more amazed they are by it, and the more they feel moved to praise the one they believe is behind it all.
In this section you can explore the stories of some of these scientists with a personal faith, both living and historical.
