Sure, Sir Isaac Newton. His work "In Principia" was voted the most important scientific work ever published by an international group of scientists polled in the 1980's Here is a fascinating link: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isaac_Newton%27s_religious_views

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gregor_Mendel

Charles Darwin Theory of evolution

Gregor Mendel, the father of genetics, was an Augustinian priest. Nicolaus Copernicus, the father of modern astronomy, was a Roman Catholic and a canon of the Church. Galileo Galilei, called the father of modern science by Albert Einstein, initially studied to be a priest and was a devout Roman Catholic up to the time of his death. Johannes Kepler was very religious and in his book confirming Copernicanism, "The Cosmic Mystery", thought he had revealed God's geometrical plan for the universe. His mother was an herbalist and physician who was tried for witchcraft.

1) L. Ron Hubbard. Creator of Scientology. Must have something to do with religion. And with science. And most probably with money. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scientology 2) the "Christian Scientists" http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Christian_Scientists_(religious_denomination%29 3) What do you call a religious scientist, actually? A scientist who is not an Atheist? Many would satisfy this definition, at least in the past; or they did not say it openly. 4) "The list in non-exhaustive and strictly limited to scientists who also contributed to Christian theology or religious thinking." "Bede, the Venerable (c.672–735)" "Albertus Magnus (c.1193–1280)" "Roger Bacon (c.1214–1294)" "Nicolaus Copernicus (1473–1543)" "Giordano Bruno (1548–1600)": "He was an Italian philosopher, priest, cosmologist, and occultist, known for espousing the idea the that Earth revolves around the Sun and that many other worlds revolve around other suns. For his many heretical views he was tried by the Roman Inquisition and burned at the stake. The Catholic Encyclopedia labels his system of beliefs "an incoherent materialistic pantheism.""

Are you saying you're smarter than they are?" (By implication, you should believe in God as well.) - "Isaac Newton, Johannes Kepler, Galileo, and others were creationists. Therefore creationism is scientific." " "Only the first form of the argument is valid. The existence of scientists who believe in God does prove that it is possible to believe in God and still be a good practicing scientist. The difference between the first and second forms of the argument is subtle but important: a scientist may, for instance, believe that God intervenes in the world by performing miracles. However, she is expected to set aside her belief in miracles while working as a scientist: there is no objective evidence for the existence of miracles. They are therefore, at best, a highly-speculative hypothesis." Source and further information: http://wiki.ironchariots.org/index.php?title=Argument_from_admired_religious_scientists

Charles Darwin attended religious studies sure. However later in his scientific career he certainly was not religious.

Stephen Jay Gould - he popularized the fact that some scientists could believe in god and their faith, yet still understand and teach evolution. He was an incredible writer, scientist and a deeply spiritual man.

Name a religious scientist and what he did =============== I think Lao Tzu was great religious scientist and he wrote very good scientific book: Tao Te Ching . http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tao_Te_Ching # Dao generates the One, The One generates the Two, The Two generates the Three. The Three generates all things. All things have darkness at their back and strive towards the light, and the flowing power gives them harmony. / Tao Te Ching, Chapter 42, Lao Tzu / ============= . . My comment: Cosmo genesis. 1. In the beginning was Vacuum/ Dao. The Vacuum/ Dao is not died space but according to Quantum theory it is Energetic space : T=0K. 2. Dao generates the One. It means: The Energetic (Infinite/Eternal) Vacuum space generates energetic virtual particles- frozen light quanta.. They are in rest/ potential condition and written by formulas: C/D = pi, E = Mc^2, R/N = k, h = 0, i^2 = -1. They can change its rest/potential condition and become active. We call this active Energetic particle Electron: e^2= ahc 3. The One generates the Two. It means: The Ones (frozen light quanta and Electron) create Proton. 4. The Two generates the Three. It means: As result of interaction between Electron and Proton the atom was created. 5. The Three generates all things. It means: The atoms create all things. 6. All things have darkness at their back and strive towards the light, and the flowing power gives them harmony. It means: The Quantum of Light is hidden in everything. But as the ‘Bhagavad Gita’ says: Fools deride Me when I descend in the human form. They do not know My transcendental nature and My supreme dominion over all that be. / Chapter 9. Text 11./ ========== . . Best wishes. Israel Sadovnik. / Socratus. http://www.worldnpa.org/php2/index.php?tab0=Scientists&tab1=Display&id=1372 ===================== . .
