Below there's a comment I found very beautiful. It's a follow up to my "A Digression" post of December/2025. Full post needs password to be unlocked.

“If you drink a little science, you don't believe the Bible; if you drink a lot, you can't deny it.”

This phrase sums up well the encounter between faith and reason throughout history.

Many of the greatest scientists saw no conflict between science and Christianity. On the contrary, they saw science as a way of understanding the order of creation.

Isaac Newton, considered the father of classical physics, wrote more about theology than mathematics. For him, the laws of the universe revealed an intelligent Lawgiver.

Johannes Kepler, a convinced Christian, said he was “thinking God’s thoughts”.

Blaise Pascal, a genius in mathematics and physics, argued that faith and reason complement each other.

Michael Faraday, pioneer of electromagnetism, was a practicing Christian and humble servant of the church.

James Clerk Maxwell, creator of the equations of electromagnetism, saw God as the source of the natural order.

Gregor Mendel, a Christian monk, laid the foundations of modern genetics.

Robert Boyle, founder of modern chemistry, financed translations of the Bible.

Galileo Galilei, a Catholic, argued that the Bible does not make mistakes, but can be misinterpreted.

Nicolaus Copernicus, also a Christian, dedicated his work to God.

These men were not ignorant of science, but deeply educated in it.

They did not abandon their faith when studying the universe.

The more they investigated the complexity of nature, the more they recognized purpose.

Science describes mechanisms, but does not explain the ultimate meaning of existence.

The Bible answers questions that science cannot answer.

Therefore, faith and science, when well understood, go together. "
