Question: What do the following scientists have in common? Michael Faraday, Charles Babbage, James Clerk Maxwell, Heinrich Hertz, Gregor Mendel, Lord Kelvin, Wilhelm Röntgen, and Arthur Eddington. Answer:
To these we should add the still-living Francis Collins, Donald Knuth, and our own Larry Wall. Oh, and BTW, Theodosius Dobzhansky was reportedly one of the “famous evolutionists [who] were firm believers in a personal God.” Here are some interesting statistics from Wikipedia: According to 100 Years of Nobel Prizes a review of Nobel prizes award between 1901 and 2000 reveals that (65.4%) of Nobel Prizes Laureates, have identified Christianity in its various forms as their religious preference. Overall, Christians have won a total of 72.5% of all the Nobel Prizes in Chemistry, 65.3% in Physics, 62% in Medicine, 54% in Economics. Go figure. ;-) Cheers,
