Just click on over to officepoolstop.com!* Ten Years Later RSR Update: Real Science Radio hosts Bob Enyart and Fred Williams update an RSR show from ten years ago this week on the fathers of the physical sciences. As documented by leading science historians, many of the fathers of the natural sciences rejected naturalistic origins, including those who workedboth before and after Darwin. Pioneering scientists who rejected atheistic origins included Copernicus, Bacon, Kepler, Galileo, Pascal, Boyle, Newton, Cuvier, Dalton, all of whom worked before Charles Darwin. And those who did their work after the publication of Origin of Species included Faraday, Pasteur, Joule, Kelvin, Lister, Carver, each of whom continued to advocate for special creation and to reject evolution.* Answering the Atheist's Argument from Authority: Our list below of many of the fathers of science who believed in a creator is not an argument from authority. Rather, it is a REBUTTAL to logical fallacy committed often by  evolutionists when they make an invalid argument from authority. First, they severely misrepresent reality when they claim, as physicist Lawrence Krauss said to Bob Enyart, that "all scientists are Darwinists", for they are ignoring the 600,000 U.S. Ph.D.s, MDs, and professors, who reject the fundamental claim of materialistic origins. Secondly, while there is nothing wrong with quoting an expert on a topic, the bait and switch tactic of identifying experts in one topic and then without acknowledging the switch, proceeding as though they were experts in a different field, is one way of committing the logical fallacy of an invalid argument from authority. Being a pilot doesn't mean that you know how to make an airplane, let alone gravity. So we should take care not to commit the logical fallacy of argument from an invalid authority, like this:Scientists are experts in operational physics, chemistry, and biology. Most scientists believe in naturalistic origins. Therefore naturalistic origins must be true.It is a logical fallacy to claim, as Lawrence Krauss did to Real Science Radio, that success in operational science translates to deserved trust in origins. Our list of the fathers of science who believe in the Creator God is offered  to rebut the common claim, as made by countless atheists (including TOL's Stratnerd), that only uneducated people reject evolution.* Fathers of Science who Believed in the Creator God Philip Paracelsus, died 1541, Chemical Medicine Nicolas Copernicus, 1543, Scientific Revolution Francis Bacon, 1626, Scientific Method Johann Kepler, 1630, Physical Astronomy Galileo Galilei, 1642, Law of falling bodies William Harvey, 1657, Circulatory System Blaise Pascal, 1662, Probability and Calculators Robert Boyle, 1691, Chemistry Christiaan Huygens, 1695, Physical Optics Isaac Newton, 1727, Gravitation Carolus Linnaeus, 1778, Taxonomy, Modern Biology George Cuvier, 1832, Anatomy/Paleontology John Dalton, 1844, Atomic Theory For those who object that these brilliant men lived prior to the 1859 publication of Darwin’s Origin of Species, consider the following scientific giants all of whom in a time of more open debate, publicly rejected natural origins and Darwinian evolution, and indicated that the evidence supports belief in a supernatural Creator: Michael Faraday, died 1867, Electromagnetism Matthew Maury, 1873, Oceanography James Clerk Maxwell, 1879, Electromagnetic Radiation Louis Pasteur, 1885, Microbiology James Joule, 1889, Thermodynamics Lord Kelvin, 1907, Thermodynamics (preferred ID over Darwinism; see below) Joseph Lister, 1912, Modern Surgery G. W. Carver, 1943, Modern Agriculture* SEE ALSO the 600,000 Ph.D.s, Profs, and MDs Doubting Darwin: For the research on how many U.S. professionals in the operational sciences, medicine, professors, etc., do not accept the general claim of m
