| 27 <p>Based on this, it should be no surprise that the founder of experimental science, <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ibn_al-Haytham">Ibn al-Haytham</a>, and the greatest scientist, Isaac Newton, were both monotheists. In fact all major scientific advances were produced on monotheistic culture. Many significant scientists in the last century considered themselves to be atheists, but I would argue that they mislabeled themselves and that they were really implicit monotheists. Most of these scientists believed in some underlying unifying force in the universe. They just lacked the religion knowledge to identify this as God. But these scientists absorbed their worldview from the surrounding culture which was Christian. Today this is no longer possible since modern culture is no longer Christian and is instead effectively idolatrous. Idolaters are not capable of science because they submit to man-made things (ideas) instead of submitting to God (the results of reality). This is why science has died in the West.</p> | 27 <p>Based on this, it should be no surprise that the founder of experimental science, <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ibn_al-Haytham">Ibn al-Haytham</a>, and the greatest scientist, Isaac Newton, were both monotheists.

| 29 <p>The characteristics of God that I enumerated are those relevant to science. Different monotheistic religions add additional characteristics to God. One can be a good scientist within any of these monotheistic religions. But one cannot be a good scientist without at least accepting God with the characteristics that I enumerated here.</p> | 29 <p>The characteristics of God that I enumerated are those relevant to science.
