Christians can be scientists, too

In repsonse to a June 29 Aggielife feature:

I very much enjoyed the fine article by Kendra Kingsley entitled "Test of Faith". However, I was appalled by the comment that Mike Suroviks attributed to his philosophy professor; namely, that one can't be a true Scientist if one is a true Christian.

If this be so, then many of the great scientist throughout history must be reclassified as something other than scientists, as they were true Christians. This includes Boyles, Pascal, Newton, Faraday, Maxwell, Kelvin, Kepler, and many others. Many of our distinguished professors at TAMU are true Christians as well as true scientists, including Marlan Scully in Physics, Jack Lunsford in Chemistry, Jack Wilmore in exercise phisology and James Womack in Veterinary Medicine.

One does not need to be a materialist, assuming the universe is a COMPLETELY closed system of cause and effect, to study natural processes.
