Dr. Edi Bilimoria – Legendary Scientists, Without Exception, Affirmed Divinity

‘Science rests on facts and evidence whereas religion is based on faith and belief’ is a sneering remark that I have personally heard, not infrequently, at lectures I attended at the Royal Society and the Royal Institution of Great Britain. This talk presents hard evidence from the writings of legendary scientists to demonstrate that these luminaries of science, without fail, affirmed their conviction (not belief) in a Higher Power (by whatever name) and acknowledged their responsibility as ITS channel and instrument in their pioneering discoveries.

Our initial focus will be on the religious and mystic pronouncements of Isaac Newton, overtly expressed in his Principia, his letters to Richard Bentley ‘Containing Some Arguments in Proof of a DEITY’, and several other correspondences. We demolish the popular idea that Newton preached a ‘clockwork universe’ powered by blind mechanical physical laws.

Then we turn to the visionary and mystical insights of the giants of modern physics, including Max Planck, Albert Einstein, and Erwin Schrödinger.

Finally we show how that most elusive subject, mathematics, bridges science and religion. Here we draw on the pioneering research of Stephen Phillips in his classic book showing the mathematical connection between religion and science; and Noor Bosra elucidating the role of number and allegory from Ancient Mesopotamia and Greece to Islam.
