Muad'Dib:

This is a warning of potential blocking: there is an anti-Christian tone to your postings. Your replacement in the Hubble entry ("devout Christian" to something like "despite his Christian upbringing") almost triggered an immediate block. Another example will unfortunately result in blocking your id.--[[User:Aschlafly|Aschlafly]] 23:38, 4 March 2007 (EST)

:Sorry, but I could not find any reference to Hubble being a devout Christian, only that he was raised in a Christian environment. I wanted to remove the factual error and replace it with something that could be cited (as is instructed in the Commandments). Also, I don't know how to leave comments like others do in a discussion page, I should find out how. - Muad'Dib

:There, I fixed it towards my original intent, not that Hubble "overcame" his upbringing, I only meant that it was interesting that he was raised Christian yet contributed to the Big Bang theory. - Muad'Dib

Edwin Hubble

Muad'Dib: Fixed unintended sentiment

Edwin Hubble was an astronomer who discovered evidence in 1929 that supported the "Big Bang" origin of the universe. Though raised in a Christian family<ref>http://72.14.253.104/search?q=cache:-2smun058zEJ:www.astro.caltech.edu/~george/ay21/christianson.pdf+edwin+hubble+christian&hl=en&ct=clnk&cd=1&gl=ca</ref>, Hubble's discoveries persuaded nearly all physicists to accept that the universe had a spectacular beginning some 10 to 20 billion years ago.<ref> http://liftoff.msfc.nasa.gov/academy/universe/b_bang.html</ref>

'''Francis Crick''' is the British co-discoverer of the structure of [[DNA]] and a [[Nobel Prize]] winner. Crick described himself as an [[agnostic]] with "a strong inclination towards [[atheism]]."<ref>Francis Crick, What Mad Pursuit: a Personal View of Scientific Discovery, Basic Books reprint edition, 1990, ISBN 0-465-09138-5, p. 145.</ref>

Marie Curie

Muad'Dib:

Marie Curie was a Polish scientist and atheist<ref>http://womenshistory.about.com/od/mariecurie/p/marie_curie.htm</ref> who did extensive work on radioactivity and radioactive materials along with her husband, Pierre.

She discovered two elements, previously unknown, both radioactive. One of them she named ''polonium'' in honor of her native Poland, the other ''radium.''

The ''Curie,'' a unit of radioactivity, is named in her honor.

John Napier

Muad'Dib:

John Napier (1550-1617) was a Scottish mathematician and devout Christian who invented the [[logarithm]] in order to simplify calculations, and express and manipulate large numbers. He also invented an early antecedent of the slide rule known as "Napier's bones."

Napier considered mathematics only a hobby, but considered Theology his career. In 1593 he published a work called "A Plaine Discovery of the Whole Revelation of St. John", in which he claimed he had calculated from the book of Revelations that the end of the world would come in 1688 or 1700 and that Pope Clement VIII was the Antichrist.<ref>http://www.johnnapier.com/john_napier_and_the_devil.htm</ref>

Isaac Newton

Muad'Dib:

Sir Isaac Newton was an English scientist who lived from 1634 to 1727. He was a physicist, astronomer, mathematician, alchemist and natural philosopher. He is probably best known for his Theory of Universal Gravitation and his Laws of Motion. His contributions also include inventing the reflecting telescope, developing calculus (with Gottfried Leibniz), and numerous other contributions to his fields of study.

Newton was the first to demonstrate that the same laws that govern the motion of celestial objects also govern the motion of things on Earth. Newton's contributions greatly advanced the scientific revolution. His work also advanced the concept of heliocentrism (the belief that the Sun is at the centre of the Solar System and/or Universe), with his works prompting the lifting of a ban on heliocentric books by the Catholic Church.

Newton was a devout Christian who said his discoveries were inspired by God.<ref>http://www.biblecodedigest.com/page.php/74</ref>. He devoted more time to the study of Scripture than to science. He said of himself, "I have a fundamental belief in the Bible as the Word of God, written by those who were inspired. I study the Bible daily."<ref>Tiner, J.H. (1975). Isaac Newton: Inventor, Scientist and Teacher. Milford, Michigan, U.S.: Mott Media.</ref> Newton's beliefs differed from that of the Catholic Church however; he did not believe Trinitarianism (one God in three persons). The majority opinion holds that Newton was a unitarian (one God) and an Arian (Jesus was divine but did not exist eternally and was created by God at some point before coming to Earth). This is illustrated by Newton in his theological notebooks by noting that "worshiping Christ as God" among a list of "Idolatria".<ref>Westfall, Richard S. The Life of Isaac Newton, Cambridge U Press, 1993, ISBN 0-521-47737-9, p. 124</ref>

Newton believed that God's creation of the universe was self evident given it's grandeur.<ref>Webb, R.K. ed. Knud Haakonssen. “The emergence of Rational Dissent.” Enlightenment and Religion: Rational Dissent in eighteenth-century Britain. Cambridge University Press, Cambridge: 1996. p19.</ref> He also warned against using his laws to replace the creator. He said, "Gravity explains the motions of the planets, but it cannot explain who set the planets in motion. God governs all things and knows all that is or can be done."<ref>Tiner, J.H. (1975). Isaac Newton: Inventor, Scientist and Teacher. Milford, Michigan, U.S.: Mott Media.</ref>

Newton is often seen as one of the greatest scientific people in all history due to his contributions.

Newton died in March of 1727 in London, England. He was buried in Westminster Abbey.
