Universally acknowledged as one of the
greatest physicists of all time, Faraday was
especially gifted with developing the new
sciences of electricity and magnetism. He also
made key contributions in the field of
chemistry.
Faraday was a scientist who believed in
the existence of a Creator, and that science
Michael Faraday
and religion are in harmony. Because one
God created the world, he believed, all of nature must be interconnected
as a single whole. Based on this idea, he concluded that electricity and
magnetism must be interlinked. 102

Morse was a remarkable scientist known for his invention of the
telegraph. He also built the first camera in America.
Morse believed in the existence of a Creator who created everything for
a certain cause. He felt that the material world and the spiritual
world work in harmony. Just four years before he died,
Morse wrote: "The nearer I
approach to the end of my
pilgrimage, the grandeur and
sublimity of God's remedy
for fallen man are more
appreciated and the
future is illumined
with hope and
joy." 103
