Charles Darwin (1809-1882)

It may be surprising to see the English naturalist and geologist, Charles Darwin on this list, given his contributions to evolutionary theory but the scientist did believe in God and believed there could be a relationship between faith and science, quoted saying “I have never denied the existence of God. I think the theory of evolution is fully compatible with faith in God. I think the greatest argument for the existence in God is the impossibility of demonstrating and understanding that the immense universe, sublime above all measure, and man were the result of chance.”
