the groundbreakers in many sciences were devout believers. Witness the accomplishments of Nicolaus Copernicus {a priest} in astronomy, Blaise Pascal {a lay apologist} in mathematics, Gregor Mendel {a monk} in genetics, Louis Pasteur in biology, Antoine Lavoisier in chemistry, John von Neumann in computer science, and Enrico Fermi and Erwin Schrodinger in physics. That's a short list, and it includes only Roman Catholics; a long list could continue for pages. A roster that included other believers-Protestants, Jews, and unconventional theists like Albert Einstein, Fred Hoyle, and Paul Davies-could fill a book.
