I do not like to rely on statistics too much as they can be skewed in different ways, but I will rely on them a little for this article as these statistics seem pretty straight forward. According to the book “100 Years of Nobel Prize (2005)”, written by Baruch Aba Shalev, the following pattern can be seen in terms of scientists around the world who have been award Nobel prizes, between 1901 and 2000:
- 65.4% of these people have identified Christianity in its various forms as their religious preference.
Christians have won a total of:- 72.5% of all the Nobel Prizes in Chemistry.
- 65.3% in Physics.
- 62% in Medicine.
- 20% of the recipients are Jewish. Jews represent 0.2% of the worlds population, and thus should have about 0.2% of the Nobel awards.
- 10.5% of the recipients claim to be atheists.
- 0.8% of the recipients are Muslim.
I find it very interesting that such a high percentage are Christian or claim that is their preference. This is even more-so when one considers Dr. Richard Dawkins, a well known British scientist, who claims in his book “The God Delusion” that “When one person suffers from a delusion, it is called insanity. When many people suffer from a delusion it is called Religion.” Mr. Dawkins is indirectly claiming the vast majority of scientists are insane! As an aside, I found no evidence Mr. Dawkins has won or even been considered for a Nobel prize.
Not only are a very high percentage of leading scientists Christians, many, probably most, believe what the Bible says – God created the universe and earth in 6 literal days, not billions of years. If interested you can see a partial list of such scientists here https://creation.com/creation-scientists. Do not be fooled by news, movies, books and interviews which claim all scientists as believing evolution. Do not believe those who claim evolution is fact. It is not, and that is a fact!
We are working on a smartphone game. It will teach people about the global flood of Noah’s day in a fun way. They will solve puzzles by loading all the animals into the pens on the ark in a short period of time before the flood waters come. They will then steer the ark around mountains, avoiding meteors, comets and volcanic eruptions as the rising flood waters carry the ark along. The game will contain short snippets of scientific information about the flood and our world. We will thus be teaching science from a Biblical viewpoint, in a fun way. It will advertise for our organization to raise awareness of who we are and what we are doing. It will, Lord willing, raise funds to help build the museum and science centre. We can sell advertising space in the game as well as enable players to purchase items to make their game play easier. We hope to have a VR (Virtual Reality) version of the game which could then be played in a motion simulator to make it more realistic. This could then generate revenue as people play the game. The featured image is a sample of the floor plan of the ark showing the pens, sizes of pens, other areas, and hallways. This maze of pens provides the foundation for the puzzle part of the game.
