“I’m certain many scientists, past & present, shared Newton’s views, demonstrating that it’s not necessary to be an atheist to work in science.”
My dad (a Christian) once asked a friend of his that was a pioneer in the early radar in WWII (and then into other ground-breaking things) and a strong Christian how that worked - the science and religion aspect. The guy replied “The more I learn and discover in the sciences, the more I learn and discover how great God is!”
Thanks again, my view exactly, in a nut shell.
