Fields of Science and Bible-Believing Christians

"I will make you a great nation; I will bless you and make your name great; and you shall be a blessing. I will bless those who bless you, And I will curse him who curses you; and in you all the families of the earth shall be blessed." - Genesis 12: 2-3

God tells Abraham in the verses above that the entire world would be blessed as a result of him and his descendants. This is really prophecy, and as we have already seen (note our section on "All the Families of the World") - this has been fulfilled in the most astounding ways.

Another way in which this has been fulfilled involves the fields of mathematics, science and engineering. Jewish scientists have been at or near the forefront of so many fields of mathematic and scientific endeavors. This prophecy is also fulfilled by extension, through the work of those Christians who believe in the Jewish Messiah.

The following fields of science and math were founded by Bible-believing Christians:

# Antiseptic Surgery - Joseph Lister
# Bacteriology - Louis Pasteur
# Calculus - Isaac Newton
# Celestial Mechanics - Johannes Kepler
# Chemistry - Robert Boyle
# Comparative Anatomy - Georges Cuvier
# Computer Science - Charles Babbage
# Dimensional Analysis - Lord Rayleigh
# Dynamics - Isaac Newton
# Electronics - John Ambrose Fleming
# Electrodynamics - James Clerk Maxwell
# Electromagnetics - Michael Faraday
# Energetics - Lord Kelvin
# Entomology - Henri Fabre
# Field Theory - Michael Faraday
# Fluid Mechanics - George Stokes
# Galactic Astronomy - Sir William Herschel
# Gas Dynamics - Robert Boyle
# Genetics - Gregor Mendel
# Glacial Geology - Louis Agassiz
# Gynecology - James Simpson
# Hydrography - Matthew Maury
# Hydrostatics - Blaise Pascal
# Ichthyology - Louis Agassiz
# Isotopic Chemistry - William Ramsey
# Model Analysis - Lord Rayleigh
# Natural History - John Ray
# Non-Euclidian Geometry - Bernard Riemann
# Oceanography - Matthew Maury
# Optical Mineralogy - David Brewster

Just to name a few

 

Indeed all of the families of the world have been blessed as a result of Abraham (and more importantly, as a result of his offspring - the Lord Jesus Christ)!
