 '''Francis Bacon''' was an [[England|English]] [[scientist]], [[Christian]], [[politician]], and [[polymath]] during the [[Age of Exploration]] who lived from 1561 to 1626 and promoted research based on experimentation. In addition to his scientific work he wrote many books, and some have even suggested that he was the true author of [[William Shakespeare]]'s plays.<ref>http://www.theatrehistory.com/british/shakespeare030.html</ref> He died from [[hypothermia]] sustained from stuffing a snow-packed [[chicken]] inside his shirt.
-Bacon is famous for his role in the [[Scientific Revolution]], promoting scientific experimentation as a way of glorifying God and fulfilling scripture.  He is also famous as a politician in Elizabethan England, as he held the office of Lord Chancellor. He also was against the splintering within Christianity, in particular the kind demonstrated with the [[Protestant Reformation]], believing that it would ultimately lead to the creation of atheism as a dominant worldview, as indicated with his quote that "The causes of atheism are: divisions in religion, if they be many; for any one main division, addeth zeal to both sides; but many divisions introduce atheism."<ref>http://www.bartleby.com/3/1/16.html</ref>
