Max Planck (1858-1947)
Planck made many contributions to physics, but is best known for quantum theory, which revolutionized our understanding of the atomic and sub-atomic worlds. In his 1937 lecture "Religion and Naturwissenschaft," Planck expressed the view that God is everywhere present, and held that "the holiness of the unintelligible Godhead is conveyed by the holiness of symbols." Atheists, he thought, attach too much importance to what are merely symbols. Planck was a churchwarden from 1920 until his death, and believed in an almighty, all-knowing, beneficent God (though not necessarily a personal one). Both science and religion wage a "tireless battle against skepticism and dogmatism, against unbelief and superstition" with the goal "toward God!" |

Richard Dawkins
I like his passion and the way it comes through in his writing. I also respect him for standing up for his views so strongly |

Yes he did Einstein knew the dangers of nuclear bombs and was against them being used people should have been again nuclear bombs but then again if we didn't drop the atomic bomb on japan they would have never stopped fighting. |

| Faraday - His work on electromagnetism is the foundation of so much of the 21st century world, plus he worked on plenty other cool theories, ideas and designs like the Faraday cage. |
