physicist, philosopher, christian in one person

Post by 1over137 »

Who do you know who is good physicist, philosopher and christian at the same time?
I know some, but wanna know some more. Who is the biggest guru?
But examine everything carefully; hold fast to that which is good.
-- 1 Thessalonians 5:21

For I am confident of this very thing, that He who began a good work in you will perfect it until the day of Christ Jesus.
-- Philippians 1:6

Not necessarily professionals on in each of the first 2, but off the top of my head I'd offer:

Francis Collins
Rich Deem
C.S. Lewis (deceased)
Hugh Ross
Dan Stoner

Robert Spitzer, PHD in astrophysics and philosophy. One of the most brilliant minds I've ever had the pleasure of reading his material or listening to his lectures. His latest book, New Proofs For The Existence Of God, is a must read. His website is Magis Center of Reason and faith.

Am I blind? I do not see in his bio that he has PhD from astrophysics, not even on wikipedia.

Btw, the one I know is John Polkinghorne.

PhD in philosophy, sorry. But he's a great astrophysicist nonetheless. Listen to his lecture on Contemporary Physics and God starting here (7 parts, 10 mins each) or the one on the Anthropic Principle here (4 parts, 10 mins each).

I'm not a good Christian.

I am who I am by grace and Christ alone.

Yeah, I watched first three parts and Robert Spitzer seems to know a lot. It would be interesting to see him in a debate with Neil Turok.
