It has been claimed by many that creationists cannot do science and that having a starting assumption that the world is created will lead to bad science.

However men such as Johann Kepler, Isaac Newton, Robert Boyle, David Brewster, John Dalton, Michael Faraday, Blaise Pascal, Clerk Maxwell, Louis Pasteur, William Thompson (Lord Kelvin), and a host of others of comparable stature were men who firmly believed in special creation and the personal omnipotent God of creation, as well as believing in the Bible as the inspired Word of God and in Jesus Christ as Lord and Saviour. Their great contributions in science indeed, in laying the very foundations of modern science were made in implicit confidence that they were merely `thinking God's thoughts after Him,' and that they were doing His will and glorifying His name in so doing. They certainly entertained no thoughts of conflict between science and the Bible.
