Quiz: Scientists and God

547 Views 7 Votes 16 Comments

Many of the biggest names in science believed in God. In fact, many became stronger believers the more that they learned and studied. Unlike what many non-believers want people to think, science and belief in God and the Bible go hand in hand. It almost seems like science serves the main purpose of proving the existence of God and the validity of the bible.

This quiz will probably be very hard, but hopefully also enlightening and interesting. The following quotes were made by strong men of science. The goal is to match the scientist with the quotation.

  • Question of

    Who said, “If we find the answer [ to the unified theory], it would be the ultimate triumph of human reason – for we would know the mind of God.”

    • Albert Einstein (German/American mathmetician)
    • Isaac Newton (British Physicist)
    • Stephen Hawking (British Physicist)
    • Johannes Kepler (German Astronomer)
  • Question of

    Who said, “There are more sure marks of authenticity in the Bible than in any profane history.”

    • Albert Einstein (German/American mathmetician)
    • Isaac Newton (British Physicist)
    • Stephen Hawking (British Physicist)
    • George Washington Carver (Chemist and Teacher)
  • Question of

    • Galileo Galalei (astronomer, mathmetician, inventor)
    • Louis Agassiz (Naturalist and teacher)
    • Isaac Newton (British Physicist)
  • Question of

    “Every one who is seriously involved in the pursuit of science becomes convinced that a spirit is manifest in the laws of the universe – a spirit vastly superior to that of man, and one in the face of which we with our modest powers must feel humble. In this way the pursuit of science leads to a religious feeling of a special sort, which is indeed quite different from the religiosity of someone more naive.”

  1. Such a neat post. All quotes were interesting and I especially appreciate the ones new to me as it’s good to have them in my back pocket. Who knows when they will come in handy.
