SCIENTISTS BELIEVE IN GOD AND RELIGION TOO

Intellect is not the only factor that contributes to invention of ideas , principles and solutions, Rather IGNORANCE can also very well be a factor to invent say from a phenomenon to a culture . 

What I'm trying to say is that it is not necessary that only an Intelligent being can invent something (say for e.g a robust drainage system, a car, or a set of governing laws and etc) but also an Ignorant can invent something (such as a Myth, a story, a self derived belief , and etc) 

Especially In today's world, we see people who lack actual knowledge or exposure to appropriate education, come with concepts like " God is dumb, my physics lab isn't" , or with Notions such as "God is like Hitler, He kills !" . Now a vast majority of the human beings fall under the laymen category, if not for everything then atleast in specific fields. 

For e.g : An Automobile mechanic may be an expert in the field of Automation but when it comes to a sales pitch he may be a layman in it. Similarly People may excel in some fields but are fresh to other fields. 

This is why when a Good marketing strategy, combined with a healthy financial funding and some people available to readily buy the talk/pitch , yields out one of the most powerful invention by the forces of Ignorance !  

An e.g of such an invention are the "Atheists or Atheism" . These folks are really hilarious (to one who has knowledge) because when a scientist sits in front of a kid who argues that 1+1 = 3 because His Mom gives him 3 chocolates when he gestures with his two fingers , he (the scientist) has no option but to laugh it out, because he knows both the level and maturity of his opponent. 

Same is the case here, but as much as I'd like to laugh it out, this time in sha allah we'll use some Bullet points (very briefly though) to help our fellow SANE humans realize that Atheists are nothing but a circus show !

This religion/path of Atheism is the outcome of Blind following which in turn can be derived from various foldings, however in my opinion i'd like to generalize them into two main branches which are

(i) Desires

(ii) Ignorance 

Desires is a long topic so lets leave that for now, whereas Ignorance in simple terms can be defined as :

a) Think you know it all 

b) Look at everything from one perspective 

c) Not know in actuality yet comment on it 

d) etc and its likes

Now, before i begin, please be informed that Atheists have been refuted time and again by scholars and orators of varied religions. Not only is it easy, but it is amusing as well. I shall enlist a few videos below, do watch them for a good laugh :)

Title: Atheists Debunked in few seconds    Link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X4C-jgnrBGs     An important point : A convincing reason so as to why the scientists become atheists Taken from : http://www.thenewatlantis.com/publications/what-scientists-believe Ecklund concludes from her research that most scientists do not become irreligious as a consequence of their becoming scientists. “Rather, their reasons for unbelief mirror the circumstances in which other Americans find themselves: they were not raised in a religious home; they have had bad experiences with religion; they disapprove of God or see God as too changeable.” The disproportionately high percentage of nonbelievers among scientists (as compared to the general population) would appear to be the result of self-selection: the irreligious seem more likely to become scientists in the first place.  End Quote. , It's an excellent paper. You should read it . This and many other research clearly signifies that scientists did not become atheists due to science, but many of them were atheists even before they became scientists.  Scientists (with actual degrees ) who have praised the Qur'an and accepted its scientific discoveries :

Scientists who believed in God/ religion and have reverted from Atheism (will keep this very brief and limited)    The British researchers Michael Baigent, Richard Leigh and Henry Lincoln said on this issue:   

For Isaac Newton, a century and a half before Darwin, science was not separate from religion but, on the contrary, an aspect of religion, and ultimately subservient to it. ... But the science of Darwin’s time became precisely that, divorcing itself from the context in which it had previously existed and establishing itself as a rival absolute, an alternative repository of meaning. As a result, religion and science were no longer working in concert, but rather stood opposed to each other, and humanity was increasingly forced to choose between them. (Michael Baigent, Richard Leigh, Henry Lincoln, “The Messianic Legacy”, Gorgi Books, London: 1991,p. 177-178.)  

A) Prominent German physicist Max Planck said: Anybody who has been seriously engaged in scientific work of any kind realizes that over the entrance to the gates of the temple of science are written the words: Ye must have faith. It is a quality which the scientist cannot dispense with. (J. De Vries, Essential of Physical Science, Wm.B.Eerdmans Pub.Co., Grand Rapids, SD 1958, p. 15.)  

B) Besides, it is already known that almost all the founders of diverse scientific branches believed in God and His divine books. The greatest physicists in history, Newton, Faraday, Kelvin and Maxwell are a few examples of such scientists.   

In the time of Isaac Newton, the great physicist, scientists believed that the movements of the heavenly bodies and pla-nets could be explained by different laws. Nevertheless, Newton believed that the creator of earth and space was the same, and therefore they had to be explained by the same laws. He said: “This most beautiful system of the sun, planets, and com-ets could only proceed from the counsel and dominion of an intelligent and powerful Being. This Being governs all things, not as the soul of the world, but as Lord over all, and on account of His dominion. He is wont to be called Lord God, Universal Ruler.” (“Principia”)  

C) The founder of physical astronomy, Jo-hannes Kepler, stated his strong belief in God in one of his books where he wrote: “Since we astronomers are priests of the highest God in regard to the book of nature, it befits us to be thoughtful, not of the glory of our minds, but rather, above all else, of the glory of God.” (Dan Graves, Scientists of Faith, p. 51)  

D) The great physicist, William Thompson (Lord Kelvin), who Established thermo-dynamics on a formal scientific basis, was also a Christian who believed in God. [(David Darling, Deep Time, Delacorte Press, 1989, New York.)]  

E) Some other scientists who admit that the universe is created by a Creator and who are known by their cited attributes are: Robert Boyle (the father of modern chemistry) Iona William Petty (known for his studies on statistics and modern economy) Michael Faraday (one of the greatest physicists of all times) Gregory Mendel (the father of genetics; he invalidated Darwinism with his discoveries in the science of genetics) Louis Pasteur (the greatest name in bacteriology; he de-clared war on Darwinism)  F) Here's a good Add : Albert Einstien proves his professor wrong See: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nSPuFXZHY8Y     G) CNN Many scientists are devout Christians believe in God See: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jh9313y26vQ H) Famous Scientists Who Believed In God - And Their Thoughts (1900ish - Present) See: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O3o54TS4p8Y Or see https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YoLt3GA33kA I) Muslim Scientists are the founders of Current Science and Technology   Professor Saalim al-Hassani enlists 1001 Muslim Inventions forgotten by the American Heritage !

SOME REVERT THEOLOGISTS OR ATHEISTS SCIENTISTS 

1) The 81-year-old British professor of philosophy Antony Flew denounced his atheism and accepted the existence of God 

 [Richard N. Ostling, “Lifelong atheist changes mind about divine creator,”

The Washington Times 10 December 2004; http://washingtontimes.com/national/20041209-113212-2782r.htm.)]Also see : Antony Flew, “Letter from Antony Flew on Darwinism and Theology,” Philosophy Now; (http://www.philosophynow.org/issue47/47flew.htm.) 

2) Based on his calculations, Led Adleman of the University of Southern California in Los Angeles has similar options 

[See: John Whitfield, “Physicists plunder life’s tool chest”, 24 April 2003;

(http://www.nature.com/nsu/030421/030421-6.html)] 

3) Francis Crick as well : Francis Crick, Life Itself: Its Origin and Nature, New York: Simon & Schuster, 1981, p. 88 

4) Gene Myers, a scientist employed on the Human Genome Project as well : San Francisco Chronicle, 19 February, 2001 

5) In a discussion organized by the Institute for Metascientific Research in Texas in May, 2003. Professor Flew participated in the discussion together with the author, Roy Abraham Varghese, a physicist, and the mo-lecular biologist, Gerald Schroeder had a similar approach : In a letter he wrote for the August-September, 2003, edition of the British magazine Philosophy Now, he recommended Schroeder’s book “The Hidden Face of God: Science Reveals the Ultimate Truth” 

6) During an interview with the pro-fessor of philosophy and theology Gary R. Habermas, who also played a major role in his change of mind to harbour these very same thoughts of God : Atheist Becomes Theist: Exclusive Interview with Former Atheist An-tony Flew;” (http://www.biola.edu/antonyflew/index.cfm.) 

7) ALso see Gerald Schroeder, The Hidden Face of God, Touchstone, New York, 2001, p. xi.   8) Dr. Edmund Dombrowski a revert atheist - A Refutation of Evolution

There are plenty out there, i only kept it short and simple ! . My aim through this document was to prove that Atheists or anyone for that matter who considers scientists to be a God like model or inspiration should now have no problems gulping down water to choke the truth that Islam and Qur'an are not what you refer to as " illogical"
