    Folks,

    In a recent post Moorad Alexanian said,
    "The foundation of modern science was laid down by devout Christians
    (Galileo, Kepler, Newton, Maxwell, Planck, etc.) who studied nature to
    know more about its Creator."

    Maybe a philosopher of science can help me - but I was under the
    impression that this was the time of British natural theology when the
    paradigm was that the world cam into being by a God and you were finding
    and his laws etc. in your investigation. Even non Christians worked in
    that framework. Weren't some of these chaps more deists than folks that
    believed in Christ as their Savior?
