Why Most Scientists in History Believed in God

And why real science leads you to your Creator, not away from Him.


Today they tell you:


"Science has replaced God."

"Smart people don’t believe in religion."

"The more you know, the less you believe."


But history tells a very different story.


The greatest pioneers of science — the men whose discoveries built the modern world — didn’t see their knowledge as a reason to deny God.


They saw it as a reason to bow to Him.


Isaac Newton — Father of modern physics


“This most beautiful system of the sun, planets, and comets could only proceed from the counsel and dominion of an intelligent and powerful Being.”


Johannes Kepler — Founder of celestial mechanics


“I am merely thinking God’s thoughts after Him.”


Robert Boyle — Father of modern chemistry


A devoted believer, he funded the spread of Christianity (a religion) and wrote extensively about God's hand in nature.


Louis Pasteur — Founder of microbiology and immunology


“The more I study nature, the more I stand amazed at the work of the Creator.”


Michael Faraday — Pioneer of electromagnetism


A deeply religious man who believed scientific discovery was a way of uncovering God's design.


Even Albert Einstein, though not traditionally religious, said:


“Everyone 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.”


Think about it:


— They discovered the laws of physics… and saw the Lawgiver behind them.

— They uncovered the mysteries of biology… and praised the Divine Designer.

— They mapped the stars… and bowed in awe of the One who hung them in the heavens.


They didn’t see science and faith as enemies.

They saw science as a window into the greatness of Allah.


Because every atom, every cell, every star, every law…

Points back to the One who made it:


“Indeed, in the creation of the heavens and the earth and the alternation of the night and the day are signs for people of understanding.”

— [Qur’an 3:190]


Islam doesn’t fear science. Islam calls you to think, reflect, and discover — so you can recognize your Creator even more deeply.


Science explains the “how.”

Islam explains the “why.”


And together, they lead the sincere soul to the truth:


La ilaha illa Allah.

There is none worthy of worship in truth except Allah.
