Science And Christianity are Antithetical , Really? I am glad no one told these guys..

      This is a list of Scientists who publicly claimed to be Biblical Christians. It is neither complete or exhaustive. It is less than 10% of what can be found in the historical record.. An * is beside every person's name who was a priest, monk, theologian or protestant clergyman,, or church official. I also included what I believed was their greatest scientific contribution.  The claim that Biblical Christianity is not compatible with science is not born out in the records of history or not even in science it's self..
  Some of the men in this list were persecuted by misguided church officials, but they did not waver in their belief in the veracity of the Holy Bible. And they were not ashamed to say so publicly.
