Can you name a few famous people of the past who were Christians?

Here are a few to start with: Next time you feel like you want to defend your Christianity against someone trying to belittle your(s) ! Drop these names !!!! are these Christians "educated" according to YOUR standards? Dr. David H. Rogstad Earned a Ph.D. in physics from Caltech before launching his career as a rocket scientist. During his 31 years at Caltech and the Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL), Worked on a number of high-profile projects, including the supercomputers used to simulate national defense scenarios dubbed "Star Wars." Also led the technical team credited with saving the Galileo Mission to Jupiter. In addition to publishing more than 20 papers on radio astronomy in scientific journals, was commissioned to co-author and edit Antenna Arraying Techniques in the Deep Space Network (Wiley, 2003). This book is part of the prestigious JPL series that lays a foundation for innovation in deep space navigation and communications. Still serves as a technical consultant to the Lab. Dr. Hugh Ross At age seventeen he was the youngest person yet to serve as director of observations for Vancouver's Royal Astronomical Society. With the help of a provincial scholarship and a National Research Council (NRC) of Canada fellowship, he completed his undergraduate degree in physics (University of British Columbia) and graduate degrees in astronomy (University of Toronto). The NRC also sent him to the United States for postdoctoral studies. At Caltech he researched quasars, some of the most distant and ancient objects in the universe. Dr. Jeffrey Zweerink From the University of California at Los Angeles (UCLA) where he still serves (part-time) on the physics and astronomy research faculty. Although science has been a major interest for most of his life, Jeff developed a fascination with gamma rays-messengers from vastly distant black holes and neutron stars-during his graduate studies at Iowa State University, where he earned his Ph.D. in 1997. Conducted research using the STACEE and VERITAS gamma-ray telescopes. Involved in research projects such as the Solar Two Project and the Whipple Collaboration. Has co-authored more than 30 journal articles and numerous conference proceedings. Gerald E.

Anyone who claims that all Christians are stupid is himself pretty stupid anyway.) I was hoping that at least a few of the nons had an attention span, but this is evidence that some do not.

Public Comments

1. I never said all Christians were stupid now did I? And those names don't necessarily make all Christian's right/intelligent.
2. thats alot of names.
3. Christians and atheists and lots of other people can parade around lists of famous and brilliant people who adhere to their beliefs, but that in no way proves those beliefs.
4. If I ever needed that information, I'd search for it. I might even find the same list you copied/pasted. Would you like me to put up a list of all the scientists named Steve that think the Bible's version of How Things Got Here is a steaming load? ADD: Couldn't wait - here are some - there are 1000 scientists named Steve presently listed: Stephen T.

Collins J. Steven Arnold* Medical Director, Intensive Care and Sleep Medicine, St. Mary's Hospital Medical Director, Respiratory Care and Sleep Medicine, Decatur Memorial Hospital ... and on, and on, and on... Remember - these are just the scientists named "Steve" I am refering to. The point is that if there are now 1000 scientists named Steve that think the Bible's version is not worth considering from a factual basis, will you PLEASE stop pretending that the world's greatest thinkers have faith and trust in Jesus?
5. Quite a few, but the best of the best are not listed above, they were just good ordinary people who reached out and helped others in their immediate community. I am a wiccan, and I was pleased to meet such good down to earth people who lived their own interpretation of their gospel and never denegraded anyone else. I honestly believe that there is room for many different beliefs as long as all good people keep an open mind and an open heart. We are all only human when it is all said and done. Peace & Sweet Dreams to all tonight......
6. And atheists can just drop the names of all the non-christian scientists named "steve". And it DWARFS your list. "Appeal to authority" is a logical fallacy that you guys can't seem to get through your heads.
7. So what? What's your point?
8. Craig Englert led me to Christ great man of God knew and spoke the truth did not mince words has saved 1000 of lives with the Gospel of Christ. Just an ordinary Pastor! Great men of God every where you look and true heroes! Atheists can claim carl sagan who claimed we came from...."Star Dust"
9. I understand your point, but one thing all Christians have in common is that they are all human juslike everyone else. And though they may know the Truth and be saved, yet their humanness has also caused great pain - just as have nonchristians. But other than faith, no two christians are alike. Some believe in Jesus yet still ascribe to Hitler's antigay views and destroy many lives, while some Christians like myself are also conservative yet we've abandoned hate in favor of God's Word which tells us to love homosexuals and treat them fairly and equally. None of us are perfect and we all seek perfection, and none of us is at the same place in life or in faith. Rev. Jim Cunningham
10. How about these: George Washington Kathryn Kuhlman Billy Graham Jimmy Carter Corrie Ten boom MC Hammer Tim Lahaye Jerry Jenkins Sandy Patti Benny Hinn Joel Olsteen John Hagee The Oak Ridge Boys Dottie Rambo Jimmy Swaggart Jesse Duplantis Jim Bakker Tammy Bakker Mesner
