Description

Popular media delights in setting up faith in God as the antithesis of scientific progress. This seminar will present ways to challenge the myth that Christians have always been opposed to scientific progress by looking historically at how the founders of modern science rooted their scientific principles on a belief in an orderly universe created by God, and how we can develop an integrative framework for teaching science in the context of biblical revelation.

My apologies if I sounded like I was being critical. I found the article VERY informative in what it covered, it's just that it wasn't what I expected based on the title.

I agree that more can definitely be said on the early scientists who were Christians, but this was the handout for a 1 hour seminar, so I focused only on the most well-known of the early scientists. Hence, this article is on the Christian ~roots~ of modern science, rather than the entire tree. =) I did provide a brief list of other key believers who led the way in science near the end. Perhaps others can supplement on these other scientists!

My only complaint about this article is that its title is somewhat inaccurate. While it's great that it dispels a couple of the myths that have arisen concerning alleged conflicts between Christianity and science, it could have done more to show how many early scientists were orthodox Christians.
