J.J Thomson-by Not Mentioned-

Sir Joseph John Thomson, a British physicist, and recipient of the Nobel Prize in Physics was born on December 18, 1856, and died on August 30, 1940. He was a devoted Anglican and was born in Cheetham Hill, Manchester. Thomson is credited with discovering the electron, the first subatomic particle ever discovered. As part of his investigation into the makeup of canal rays, Thomson is also credited with discovering the first evidence for isotopes of a stable (non-radioactive) element in 1913. His research on the conduction of electricity in gases earned him the 1906 Nobel Prize in Physics.

2. Florence Nightingale

Florence Nightingale, an English social reformer, statistician, and the creator of modern nursing, was born on May 12, 1820, and died on August 13, 1910. She founded contemporary nursing philosophy and training and was one of the first women to pursue a career in statistics. Nightingale rose to fame during the Crimean War (1853–1856) as an army nurse trainer who urged soldiers to practice good hygiene to prevent disease-related deaths. Her efforts brought her fame on a global scale and helped St. Thomas Hospital in London build one of the world’s first nursing schools. She was a devout Christian who thought that helping others was a way for religion to reveal itself, despite her unconventional ideas on religion.

3. Werner Heisenberg

Heisenberg 10-by Unknown author-

A key figure in the development of the theory of quantum mechanics was the German theoretical physicist Werner Karl Heisenberg, who lived from 5 December 1901 to 1 February 1976. He is also recognized as being the one who first proposed what is now known as the uncertainty principle. Heisenberg contributed to the development of quantum mechanics as well as the German nuclear weapons program during World War II. After the war, he later got involved in nuclear energy development. Heisenberg was well-recognized for his generosity and humility and was a lifelong Lutheran Christian. The development of quantum mechanics earned him the 1932 Nobel Prize in Physics.

4. Francis Collins

Francis Sellers Collins, an American physician, and geneticist was born on April 14, 1950. He was raised in Staunton, Virginia, and graduated with a doctorate in physical chemistry from Yale University after attending the University of Virginia. Later, in 1977, he graduated with a medical degree from the University of North Carolina. He oversaw the Human Genome Project and uncovered the genes linked to a number of disorders. Collins discovered the genes that cause cystic fibrosis and Huntington’s disease, which was his contribution to medicine. For his work in genetics, he was awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom in addition to the National Medal of Science. Collins, who was an atheist changed his religion to Christianity after being persuaded by a client.

5. Ernest Walton

Ernest Walton-by Nobel foundation-

Irish scientist and Nobel laureate Ernest Thomas Sinton Walton was born on October 6th, 1903, and died on June 25th, 1995. His father was a Methodist clergyman, and Walton persevered in his faith throughout his whole life. He is well known for his collaboration with John Cockcroft on the Cockcroft-Walton generator, one of the early designs of particle accelerators. Walton and Cockcroft used the generator in research at Cambridge University in the early 1930s to become. Walton spent his entire life as a scientist, but he never lost sight of the significance of religion and spirituality.

6. Michael Faraday

Christian scientist Michael Faraday, who lived from 22 September 1791 to 25 August 1867, made significant contributions to the fields of electrochemistry and electromagnetic. His major discoveries include the fundamentals of electrolysis, diamagnetism, and electromagnetic induction. By describing oxidation numbers as negative or positive electrical charges with a direction indicating whether they were added (positive) or subtracted (negative) from other ions present, Faraday also introduced the idea of oxidation numbers into chemistry.

7. James Clerk Maxwell

James Clerk Maxwell-by George J. Stoddart-

Scottish mathematician and scientist James Clerk Maxwell, who was born on June 13, 1831, and died on November 5, 1879, is credited with developing the classical theory of electromagnetic radiation, the first to identify electricity, magnetism, and light as different manifestations of the same phenomenon. Quantum mechanics and special relativity are just two of the modern physics topics that Maxwell’s findings paved the way for. Maxwell was a devout Christian who later rose to the position of a church elder.

8. Antoine Lavoisier 

Antoine-Laurent de Lavoisier, a French nobleman, and chemist who lived from 26 August 1743 to 8 May 1794 also known by the name Antoine Lavoisier after the French Revolution was a pivotal figure in the 18th-century chemical revolution and had a significant impact on both the history of chemistry and the history of biology. His most well-known work is the identification and naming of oxygen and hydrogen. He is also renowned for identifying the function of oxygen in combustion. Lavoisier’s interest in science can be attributed to his profound faith in Jesus Christ and the Bible as an authoritative source of knowledge about God’s creation, in addition to his work in chemistry.

9. Leonhard Euler

Leonhard Euler 2-by Jakob Emanuel Handmann-

The studies of graph theory and topology were founded by Leonhard Euler, a Swiss mathematician, physicist, astronomer, geographer, logician, and engineer who was born on April 15, 1707. He also made important contributions to the fields of analytic number theory, complex analysis, and infinitesimal calculus. Euler popularized a lot of contemporary mathematical jargon and notation, such as the idea of a mathematical function. His contributions to mechanics, fluid dynamics, optics, astronomy, and music theory are also well known. Euler was a devout Christian scientist who, like Isaac Newton before him, thought that God had endowed him with unique abilities to progress science as an art form rather than just a collection of natural phenomena.

10. Joseph Lister

Joseph Lister, a British surgeon, medical researcher, experimental pathologist, and forerunner of antiseptic surgery and preventive medicine, was born on 5 April 1827 and passed away on 10 February 1912. In addition to being a superb surgeon, he was a follower of Christian Science. In a similar way to how John Hunter revolutionized the science of surgery, Joseph Lister revolutionized the art of surgery. He was the first surgeon to apply germ theory in medicine. To put it another way, he learned how germs cause disease and applied this knowledge to aid in its prevention.

11. Robert Boyle

Robert Boyle-by Magnus Manske –

Robert Boyle, an Anglo-Irish natural philosopher, chemist, physicist, alchemist, and inventor, was born on January 25, 1627, and died on December 31, 1691. Boyle is often considered the first modern chemist, making him one of the founders of contemporary chemistry as well as a forerunner of the current experimental scientific method. Boyle’s law, which states that if the temperature is maintained within a closed system, the absolute pressure and volume of a gas have an inversely proportionate relationship, is his most famous contribution. In addition to being well known for his publications like The Christian Virtuoso and A Free Enquiry into the Vulgarly Received Notion of Nature, Boyle was also known for his faith in God.

12. Alessandro Volta

Alessandro Giuseppe Antonio Anastasio Volta, an Italian physicist, chemist, and lay Catholic, is credited with inventing the electric battery and discovering methane. He was born on February 18, 1745, and died on March 5, 1827. He created the voltaic pile in 1799, and in 1800, he wrote a two-part letter to the Royal Society’s president summarizing the findings of his research. With this breakthrough, Volta disproved the widely held belief that only living things could produce electricity by producing it chemically. Due to the scientific fervor generated by Volta’s invention and the subsequent replication of his experiments, the discipline of electrochemistry eventually emerged.

13. Arthur Eddington

Arthur Stanley Eddington-by George Grantham Bain Collection, Library of Congress Prints and Photographs Division Washington, D.C-

Sir Arthur Stanley Eddington was an English astronomer, physicist, and mathematician who was born on 28 December 1882 and died on 22 November 1944. He was a popularizer of science as well as a philosopher of science. In his honor, the radiation produced by the accretion of material onto a compact object or the natural limit to the luminosity of stars is known as the Eddington limit. Due to his upbringing in a devoted Christian family that valued science as much as it did religion, Eddington chose to live as a Quaker.

14. James Prescott Joule

James Prescott Joule, an English physicist, mathematician, and brewer, was born in Salford, Lancashire, on December 24, 1818, and passed away on October 11, 1889. Joule investigated the nature of heat and found a connection between it and mechanical work. As a result, the law of conservation of energy and the first law of thermodynamics was developed. The joule, an energy unit derived from the SI, is named in his honor. As a Christian scientist, his religious convictions humility and God’s will helped guide his discoveries in this field.

15. Gregor Mendel

Gregor Mendel-by Unknown author-

Gregor Johann Mendel (born 20 July 1822; died 6 January 1884) was an Augustinian monk, a biologist, a meteorologist, a mathematician, and the abbot of St. Thomas’ Abbey in Brünn (Brno), Margraviate of Moravia. He received posthumous recognition as the father of the modern science of genetics. Although farmers have known for thousands of years that crossbreeding of animals and plants could favor particular desired features, Mendel’s pea plant studies carried out between 1856 and 1863 established many of the principles of heredity, today, known as the laws of Mendelian inheritance. Mendel focused on the height of the plant, seed color and form, bloom color and location, and the seven pea plant traits. Mendel was a follower of Christian Science. In actuality, he was motivated to study plants by his beliefs.
