Sorry Allmendream,

As a biblical literalist and member of the non-conformist church, Fraraday would be considered a young earth creationist by today’s standards. This view was quite common amongst scientists of his era. And yet, somehow Faraday’s biblical literalism not only did not prevent him from becoming one of the giants of science, but indeed inspired the very research that made him a legend.

You may as well claim all Scientist pre-Copernicus were Geo-centrists and anti-Helicentrists, even if their field had nothing to do with Astronomy.

Faraday was inspired by his faith in God as most Scientists of faith are; and as I am.

Faraday never spoke of the age of the earth or denied Biological evolution. Other than his Church membership you have absolutely nothing to support the idea that he was in any way a Creationist.
