"The first sip of a glass of natural science will make you an atheist, but at the bottom of the glass, God is waiting for you."

This is a quote by 1932 Nobel Prize winner Werner Heisenberg, one of the creators of quantum mechanics and a dedicated believer in Jesus Christ. Many people around the world have sadly been convinced that the Bible is a fictional book that lacks hardcore evidence. Sadly, this is one of the most erroneous, egregious assertions possible when you really dive into it. It seems to be a growing notion that if you believe Jesus really lived and the Bible is genuine, you're not scientific-minded or a "free thinker".

Absolutely nothing could be further from the truth. While modern religion has taken a strange turn and I don't support the hypocrisy, corruption, dogma, and freak show that is sometimes is, believing in Jesus Christ and evaluating the evidence is far different than indoctrinated, modern-day religion. Once you truly do seek with sincere intent, things start happening in your life that make it more and more apparent.

Some of the greatest scientific minds of all time believed in Jesus & the Bible, which seems to be somewhat unknown. I've compiled quotes from some of the brightest minds in human history as well as respected archaeologists. The last section contains different findings and forms of archaeological evidence that add even more validity to the writings of the Bible.

EINSTEIN

Many atheists claim that Einstein was an atheist, yet he said "In the view of such harmony of the cosmos which I, with my limited human mind, am able to recognize, there are yet people who say there is no God. But what makes me really angry is that they quote me for support of such views"

When asked if he was influenced by Christianity, Einstein said, "As a child, I received instruction in both the Bible and the Talmud. I am a Jew, but I am enthralled with the luminous figure of the Nazarene (Jesus). Einstein was also asked if he accepted the historical existence of Jesus, and he said " Unquestionably! No one can read the Gospels without feeling the presence of Jesus. His personality pulsates in every word. No myth is filled with such life."

NIKOLA TESLA

Tesla has several quotes giving credit to God and the Bible for the things he did. His mother taught him to seek all truth in the Bible and it influenced him to search the scriptures at times in his life.

SIR ISAAC NEWTON

Isaac Newton constantly studied the Bible, distributed Bibles to the poor, and stated that it was written by those inspired by the Spirit of God. He was said to have spent much of his time decoding prophecies and harmonizing the history. Newton said “ I find more sure marks of authenticity in the Bible than in any profane history whatsoever”.

BERNHARD RIEMANN

A devout Christian who died reciting the Lord’s Prayer. Riemann transformed geometry and provided the foundation of Einstein’s theory of general relativity; the Riemann hypothesis has become the most famous unresolved problem in mathematics.

LEONHARD EULER

Regarded as one of the most brilliant and prolific mathematicians in history, was a strong believer in Jesus and the Bible.

J.J. THOMSON

J.J Thomson really propelled science to new heights with his discovery of the electron. He found the first form of evidence that stable elements can exist as isotopes and invented the mass spectrometer. J.J. Thomson was said to pray and read the Bible on a daily basis.

ALBRECHT VON HALLER

Some consider Albrecht to be the father of anatomy & physiology. He was a Swiss biologist who made profound contributions to anatomy, botany, embryology, poetry, and scientific knowledge. Albrecht was known to have a deep belief in Jesus Christ and was said to have read the Bible by a very young age. It stuck with him as an adult as he learned Aramaic, Greek, and Latin to study even more.

JAMES CLERK MAXWELL

Einstein was quoted as saying, "one scientific epoch ended and another began with James Clerk Maxwell.” He is one of the titans of physics, electricity, magnetism, etc..He was said to have known the Bible so well that he memorized much of it. He was a genuine believer in Jesus Christ.

ARTHUR COMPTON

Arthur was a deacon in the Baptist Church. He discovered that light can behave as a particle as well as a wave, and coined the word photon to describe a particle of light.

Quotes by highly accomplished archaeologists and researchers:

Dr. Clifford Wilson, former director of the Australian Institute of Archaeology states:

"I know of no finding in archaeology that's properly confirmed which is in opposition to the scriptures. The Bible is the most accurate history textbook the world has ever seen."

Sir William Ramsay, a prominent archaeologist and skeptic of the Bible, stated:

“I set out to look for truth on the borderland where Greece and Asia meet and found it there. You may press the words of Luke (the book of Luke) in a degree beyond any other historian's, and they stand the keenest scrutiny and the hardest treatment."

Dr. Joseph P. Free, Professor of Archaeology and History states:

“Archaeology has confirmed countless passages which have been rejected by critics as unhistorical or contradictory to known facts. Yet archaeological discoveries have shown that these critical charges are wrong and that the Bible is trustworthy in the very statements which have been set aside as untrustworthy. We do not know of any cases where the Bible has been proved wrong.”

William F. Albright, a world-famous archaeologist, who confirmed the authenticity of the Dead Sea Scrolls, states:

"The reader may rest assured that nothing has been found by archaeologists to disturb a reasonable faith. And nothing has been discovered which can disprove a single theological doctrine. The Bible can stand for itself.

German journalist Werner Keller

“In view of the overwhelming mass of authentic and well-attested evidence now available, as I thought of the skeptical criticism which from the eighteenth century onward would fain have demolished the Bible altogether, there kept hammering in my brain this one sentence: The Bible is right after all.

Millar Burrows, Professor of Archaeology at Yale University

On the whole, however, archaeological work has unquestionably strengthened confidence in the reliability of the Scriptural record.

Dr. Nelson Glueck, American archaeologist

“It may be stated categorically that no archaeological discovery has ever controverted a Biblical reference. Scores of archaeological findings have been made which confirm in clear outline or exact detail historical statements in the Bible. And, by the same token, proper evaluation of Biblical description has often led to amazing discoveries.”

Dr. Bryant C. Wood, archaeologist:

“In every instance where the findings of archaeology pertain to the Biblical record, the archaeological evidence confirms, sometimes in detailed fashion, the historical accuracy of Scripture. In those instances where the archaeological findings seem to be at variance with the Bible, the discrepancy lies with the archaeological evidence, i.e., improper interpretation, lack of evidence, etc. — not with the Bible.
