Each of the scientists who believed in Creation whose names we list in this section either laid the foundations of a field of science or achieved pioneering accomplishments in some field of science, rendering important services to science in the past. The existence of these scientists is clear proof that belief in Creation is not contrary to science, but that, on the contrary, religion gives impetus to science.
