In today's world, it is believed that all real scientists believe in evolution. This belief is shouted from every rooftop, but could not be further from the truth.  It's a myth.  Many people are stunned to find out that there are thousands of qualified, professional and practicing scientists who are adamant that the truth of origins as given to us by the Creator in the book of Genesis is true.  The truth of origins being a miraculous creation in six 24 - hour days; a global, earth destroying flood; and a universe that is thousands, not billions of years old.

In my previous blog I listed many of the early scientists, who held this belief.  You can see from their achievements that most achieved great breakthroughs in their fields.  For example Matthew Maury, the "pathfinder of the sea" read in the Bible in Psalm 8:8 "...whatsoever passeth through the paths of the seas."  Believing what he read, he set out to discover these paths and dedicated his life to doing just that.  He charted the winds and currents of the Atlantic and was, to all intensive purposes, the founder of the modern sciences of hydrography and oceanography.  In this blog I will continue with the more modern scientists who believed the biblical creation account.

1. Edward H Maunder - 1851 - 1928 - prominent British astronomer, in charge of solar department at Greenwich Observatory, the outstanding authority on solar astronomy of his day

2.  William Mitchell Ramsay - 1851 - 1939 - archeologist - converted to Christianisty because of his extensive digs in Asia Minor, the discoveries of which confirmed fully the historical statements the book of Acts.

3.  A. H. Sayce - 1845 - 1933 - archeologist whose studies contributed to the vindication through archeology of historical sections of the Old Testament; expert on the Hittites, originally thought to be a myth

4.  John Ambrose Fleming - 1849 - 1945 - recognized as the father of modern electronics, devising the first electron tube; a consultant for Thomas Edison and Marconi; professor of Electrical Engineering for 40 yrs.

5.  George W"ashington Carver - 1864 - 1943 - agricultural chemist considered world's top authority on peanuts and sweet potatoes and their products; developed over 300 products from the peanut and 118 from the sweet potato.

6.  Charles Stine - 1882 - 1954 - organic Chemist, Director of Research for the E. I. duPont Company, developing many new products and patents for his company 

7.  William Ramsay - 1852 - 1916 - chemist, co-discoverer of argon & other inert gases; discoverer or terrestrial helium on earth leading to the study of radioactive decay processes

8.  Wernher von Braun - 1912 - 1977 - top space scientist; leading German rocket engineer developing the V-2 rocket during WW2; directed U.S. guided missle development; director of NASA; quote " manned space flight...has opened for mankind...a tiny door for viewing the awesome reaches of space.  An outlook through this peephole at the vast mysteries of the universe should only confirm our belief in the certainty of its Creator."

9.  Sir William Abney - 1843 - 1920 - president of Royal Astronomical Society and the Royal Physica Society; identified interstellar molecules through studies of spectronscopic absorption.

10. L. merson Davies - 1890 - 1960 - Ph.D. & D.Sc. in geology; a working geologist and paleontologist for 30 years; published significan articles in geological journals

11. Sir Cecil P.G. Wakeley - 1892 - 1979 - Surgeon Rear Admiral in WW2;  professor of Surgery in  the University of London' President of Royal College of Surgeons

In the 20th century most scientists were a different breed than that of the great pioneers whose careers I have mentioned.  The numbers of scientists had increased greatly, and were largely indoctrinated in evolutionism in their schooling.  They worked on large team, government-sponsored projects, with each becoming highly specialized in a very small field.  The number of real breakthroughs, new fields, and broad discoveries benefitting mankind were not as great as previously demonstrated even though the technological level of society continued to advance.  "This fact makes the high correlation of such breakthroughs with the names of the great Bible-believing scientists of the past seem even more significant."

In my next blog I will cover 20 scientists who are presently alive & well on planet earth.
