Brilliant modern day scientists are not all hardened atheists!
There is sometimes a perception that the only position for any modern, logical thinking scientist is one of disbelief in the existence of God but -
"Overwhelming strong proofs of intelligent and benevolent design lie around us ... the atheistic idea is so non-sensical that I cannot put it into words." (Lord Kelvin)
"I am a Christian ... I believe only and alone ... in the service of Jesus Christ ... In Him is all refuge, all solace." (Johannes Kepler)
"Order is manifestly maintained in the universe … the whole being governed by the sovereign will of God." (James Prescott Joule)
"There are those who argue that the universe evolved out a random process, but what random process could produce the brain of man or the system of the human eye?" (Werhner Von Braun)
"Almighty Creator and Preserver of all things, praised be all Thou has created." (Carl Linnaeus)
"I am a believer in the fundamental doctrines of Christianity." (Sir Joseph Lister)
"The more I study nature, the more I stand amazed at the work of the Creator. Science brings men nearer to God." (Louis Pasteur). Pasteur strongly opposed Darwin's theory of evolution because he felt it did not conform to the scientific evidence.
Robert Boyle believed in Jesus Christ's "Passion, His death, His resurrection and ascension, and all of those wonderful works which He did during His stay upon earth, in order to confirm the belief of His being God as well as man."
Sir Isaac Newton said, "Atheism is so senseless. When I look at the solar system, I see the earth at the right distance from the sun to receive the proper amounts of heat and light. This did not happen by chance." and also "The true God is a living, intelligent and powerful being."
Michael Faraday was careful to "Thank God, first, for all His gifts."
