As Dr. Lawrence Principe notes, “The idea that scientific and religious camps have historically been separate and antagonistic is rejected by all modern historians of science.” Nevertheless, the idea that science and religion are in conflict remains extremely popular, thanks to certain politically motivated works written in the 1800s and a variety of more recent claims (most notably by the “new atheists”). Yet even a brief consideration of the views of the leaders of the scientific revolution and of history’s most important scientists shows not only that belief in God is quite prevalent among scientists, but also that it has been a driving force in their discoveries. This video presents a number of quotes to illustrate the truth about the relationship between science and religion.
