1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. 2 He was with God in the beginning. 3 Through him all things were made; without him nothing was made that has been made. 4 In him was life, and that life was the light of all mankind. 5 The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it.
6 There was a man sent from God whose name was John. 7 He came as a witness to testify concerning that light, so that through him all might believe. 8 He himself was not the light; he came only as a witness to the light.
9 The true light that gives light to everyone was coming into the world. 10 He was in the world, and though the world was made through him, the world did not recognize him. 11 He came to that which was his own, but his own did not receive him. 12 Yet to all who did receive him, to those who believed in his name, he gave the right to become children of God— 13 children born not of natural descent, nor of human decision or a husband’s will, but born of God.
In the beginning, God created the heavens and earth...And the Word was there...The Word was with God, and the Word was God...The Word was there with God in the beginning...Everything was made through Him, and nothing was made without Him...In Him there is life, and that life is the Light for the people of the world...The Light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not defeated the Light...There was a man named John, who was sent as a messenger by God...He came to tell people about the Light...Through Him all people could hear about the Light and believe in Him...John was not the Light...But he came to tell people about the Light...The True Light was coming into the world...This is the True Light that gives Light, faith, and hope to all people...The Word was already in the world...The world was made through Him, but the world did not know Him....Some still after all these years do not see Him or His Glory...But He came to the world that is His Own....And His Own people did not accept Him...But some people did accept Him or recognize Him or who is...Those who did believe in Him, He gave them the right to become children of God...They became God’s children, but not in the way babies are usually born...It was not because of any human desire or plan...They were born from God Himself...And so He would dwell among us full of Grace and Truth for three years to teach us about God and Himself...
In the past several hundred years many have believed in the Word, and some have not...Many of our early Great Mathematicians and Scientists believed in God and that He created the earth, the heavens, and the universe...Galileo di Vincenzo Bonaiuti de' Galilei, commonly referred to as Galileo, was an Italian astronomer, physicist and engineer, sometimes described as a polymath...Galileo said “Mathematics is the language in which God has written the universe” and “The greatness and the Glory of God shine forth marvelously in all His works, and is to be read above all in the open book of the heavens.”...He believed and said: “The Bible shows the way to go to heaven, not the way the heavens go.”...“I do not feel obliged to believe that same God, who has endowed us with sense, reason, and intellect has intended us to forgo their use...God does not intend to forgo the use of sense, reason, and intellect that He has gifted us, but not to use in a wrong direction and the evil way...God has also enriched the knowledge of the devil that uses in a wrong way.”...“To me, a great ineptitude exists on the part of those who would have it that God made the universe more in proportion to the small capacity of their reason than to His immense, His infinite, power.”...
Mathematician Johannes Kepler expressed his faith in God by stating "The chief aim of all investigations of the external world should be to discover the rational order and harmony which He revealed to us in the language of mathematics.”...Mathematician Blaise Pascal wrote "There is a God shaped vacuum in the heart of every man which cannot be filled by any created thing, but only by God, the Creator, made known through Jesus."...Mathematician and Physicist Sir Isaac Newton was an earnest believer in God and wrote more about theology than He did physics....Newton said "Godliness consists in the knowledge love & worship of God, Humanity in love, righteousness & good offices towards man.”...Mathematician Gottfried W. Leibniz is also known as a man having great faith in God..."Thus the final reason of things must be in a necessary substance, in which the variety of particular changes exists only eminently, as in its source; and this substance we call God."...Mathematician Leonhard Euler was also known as a committed Christian and a strong believer of the Bible..."Since the fabric of the universe is most perfect and the work of a most wise Creator, nothing at all takes place in the universe in which some rule of maximum or minimum does not appear.”...Charles Babbage was a renowned mathematician, inventor, and mechanical engineer, as well as a man with deep faith in God...“We take the highest and best of human faculties, and, exalting them in our imagination to an unlimited extent, endeavour to attain an imperfect conception of that Infinite Power which created every thing around us."...
For these men, mathematics, science and faith went hand in hand, and studying God’s creation was an act of glory and worship...They can see that God has made the universe more in proportion His capacity and reasoning than to our limited capacity and our reasoning than to God's Immense, His infinite, Power, and ...Long a physicist, John Polkinghorne, who had a distinguished career at Cambridge University became a Priest in 1982...Polkinghorne in all that he has seen and studied believes that Something or Someone has conspired to plant the idea that the universe did not just happen, and that there must be a purpose behind it...And that purpose has came for our LORD and our God...
Perhaps science and religion will never truly come together...The study of science is always seeking to prove that facts of this or that...The core to religion is faith, belief, and hope...But both sides of religion and science seek to better understand the world...Maybe one day the lamb will set down with the wolf, and we will be able to hear the scientist whisper something in faith that is Spiritual and Sacred to a listening world...
