Scienctists and Faith
Despite the surface appearances of the conflicts of science and religion, many scientists have been able to accept both their empirical studies and supernatural beliefs. Issac Newton, one of the most famous men in the field of physics, believed in the existence of a God. To him, the arrangement of planets and stars were too perfect not to have been done by God. Albert Einstein, arguably the most famous physicist, was a deist and perhaps, a pantheist, when he said: "I believe in Spinoza's God who reveals himself in the orderly harmony of what exists, not in a God who concerns himself with the fates and actions of human beings." In our modern day, physicists like Michio Kaku still believe in the existence of God even after their various inquires into the universe. In Kaku's case, he believed the organization of the universe was too beautiful to have been created by random chance and must have been influenced by God in some way.
