Christian Men of Science [Paperback]

George Mulfinger (Author), Julia Mulfinger Orozco (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: April 2004

In this day of the atheistic or agnostic stereotype that is attached to the man of science, it is refreshing to study the lives of eleven great scientists who professed Christ as their Lord and Savior. In these short biographies, we are presented with a distilled version of each man’s scientific accomplishments and the evidences of his Christian faith. These testimonies demonstrate that true scientists can be genuine Christians, and that faith in God and the authority of the Bible is not a sign of inferior intellect.

This includes biographies of Johannes Kepler, Robert Boyle, David Brewster, Michael Faraday, Samuel Morse, Matthew Fontaine Maury, James Clerk Maxwell, Lord Kelvin, Howard Kelley, Henry Morris, and Walt Brown.

This review is from: Christian Men of Science (Paperback)

This book is an extremely well documented account of scientists whose research and discoveries were foundational to modern science. In nearly every field of science and mathematics, men who ordered their lives according to their belief in the real God of the Bible were the corner stones of real science. A real belief in a real God is the basis for real science as opposed to the dichotomous system of pseudo-science based on the force-fed primary axiom of materialism and evolution blended with real science, which is producing today's iron and clay academia which is collapsing on itself via its self-imposed II Law of Societal Thermodynamics. Even among today's unbelieving science community, the only real science being conducted still must be based on primary laws instituted and sustained by the God of the Bible whom they foolishly deny.

This book is great for children and young adults aspiring to be real scientists who will not be afraid to study math, science and engineering without regard to the funding and manipulation of some of the current academic and scientific community of cowards, bullies and deceivers-for-hire.

Hopefully, this book and books like it, can be inspirational to bright young men and women who believe in God and recognize that those who have the courage to buck the "emperors new science", will be the next generation of real scientists laying the foundation for new and exiting discoveries of the depths of God's amazing creative genius.

2.0 out of 5 stars Yet another book where creationist misrepresent scientists, February 13, 2009

This review is from: Christian Men of Science (Paperback)

I'm afraid this book severely misrepresents the scientists it talks about. For instance, it never mentions that Kepler's failed attempt to produce evidence of a designer by means of his "crystal spheres" model of the solar system. It also does not mention Lord Kelvin's thermal model that sets the age of the earth to, at least, a million years old, which is way older than the tens of thousands of years that creationists claim. This book cherry picks the situations where scientists seem to be inspired by God while omitting other very important instances where those same scientists found evidence that directly contradicts the bible story.
