一些伟大的基督徒科学家论信仰

[CHRIS88]

“This most beautiful system of the sun, planets and comets, could only proceed from the counsel and dominion of an intelligent and powerful Being...
This Being governs all things, not as the soul of the world, but as Lord over all; and on account of his dominion he is wont, to be called Lord God παντοκρατωρ or Universal Ruler.”

― Isaac Newton, The Principia: Mathematical Principles of Natural Philosophy

 

[CHRIS88]

“He who thinks half-heartedly will not believe in God; but he who really thinks has to believe in God.”
― Isaac Newton

 

[CHRIS88]

“God without dominion, providence, and final causes, is nothing else but Fate and Nature. Blind metaphysical necessity, which is certainly the same always and everywhere, could produce no variety of things. All that diversity of natural things which we find suited to different times and places could arise from nothing but the ideas and will of a Being necessarily existing.”

― Isaac Newton, The Principia: Mathematical Principles of Natural Philosophy

 

[CHRIS88]

Little science takes you away from God but more of it takes you to Him.

Louis Pasteur

巴斯德是现代微生物学、免疫学、疫苗、现代医学的奠基人。他因为对圣经的坚定信仰而挑战当时主流的“生命自生说 the spontaneous generation theory”，并最终用巧妙的曲颈瓶实验证明了微生物也不是自发生成（the germ theory)。

 

[CHRIS88]

The more I study nature, the more I stand amazed at the work of the Creator. Science brings men nearer to God.

Louis Pasteur

 

[CHRIS88]

Question your priorities often, make sure God always comes first.

Louis Pasteur

 

[CHRIS88]

Life comes only from life.

Louis Pasteur

 

[CHRIS88]

Blessed is he who carries within himself God, an ideal, and who obeys it: ideal of art, ideal of science, ideal of the gospel virtues, therein lie the springs of great thoughts and great actions; they all reflect light from the Infinite.

Louis Pasteur

 

[CHRIS88]

There is a time in every man's life when he looks to his God, when he looks at his life, when he wonders how he will be remembered.

Louis Pasteur

（Question：Is your god the one and only God?)

 

[CHRIS88]

How do you know that the incessant progress of science will not compel scientists to consider that life has existed during eternity, and not matter?

Louis Pasteur

 

[CHRIS88]

God grant that by my persevering labours I may bring a little stone to the frail and ill-assured edifice of our knowledge of those deep mysteries of Life and Death where all our intellects have so lamentably failed.

Louis Pasteur

 

[CHRIS88]

In good philosophy, the word cause ought to be reserved to the single Divine impulse that has formed the universe.

Louis Pasteur

 

[CHRIS88]

这个与传福音有关：

To bring one's self to believe in the Truth that has just dawned upon one is the first step towards progress; to persuade others is the second.

Louis Pasteur

 

[CHRIS88]

这里提到了前面所说的他用曲颈瓶实验证伪的那个当时流行但违背圣经的科学理论：生命自生说。

Never will the doctrine of spontaneous generation recover from the mortal blow struck by this simple experiment.

Louis Pasteur

 

[CHRIS88]

It is evident that an acquaintance with natural laws means no less than an acquaintance with the mind of God therein expressed.

James Prescott Joule
